Bunny 100
Bunny 100 is a light party game from Capital Gains Studio, designed by Hoang Vo with art from Huynh Thai Ngoc. It's notionally for '2-15 players' but it's a game where the only practical limiter on player count is that players all need to be able to see the active cards on display.
Gameplay is super simple, making this a game that's readily playable by children and enebriated adults. Players take turns counting up from 1 to 100. This isn't a test of basic numeracy, however. There'll be a number and an action card displayed and whenever you reach a number that ends with the unit on the number card you have to perform the indicated action instead of articulating the next number in the sequence. The difficulty steps up as more action cards appear because the new actions are added to the previous action rather than replacing it. Mess up and you have to take a rainbow poop penalty token. The game ends when the counters reach 100, with the win going to the player who has picked up the fewest tokens.
The game plays quickly - after all, you're only counting to 100 - so you can play Bunny 100 in around 10 minutes regardless of the number of players. It's good to keep the pace brisk because that makes it all the more likely that players will slip up and recite the next number in the sequence when they should instead be performing actions. If your plays are anything like ours at Board's Eye View, you can expect much good-natured joshing when you make an error.
The game includes rules and some extra cards that can make Bunny 100 a tad more challenging, but even without those there are enough different challenge cards in the basic deck to ensure that re-plays feel fresh. It's a party game that won't raise any NSFW (Not Safe For Work) issues. Our one gripe is that the rainbow poop tokens are printed with 1 on one side and 3 on the other. If you're keeping score it's annoying to have to rely on scoring tokens that can be varied by an accidental jog of the table; we'd have much preferred it if the tokens all showed a single value. That said tho', Bunny 100 is more about the experience of playing than reckoning up the winners and losers.
