4. Setup Instructions

The game setup involves building the rabbit's burrow, which is the first phase of the game.

Phase 1: Building the Burrow

1. Place the Burrow Entrance piece on the playing surface. This will be the starting point for the rabbit.
2. All players work together to connect the 15 Path Pieces and 4 Pantry Pieces to form a continuous burrow.
3. Freely arrange the pieces, ensuring that the paths do not cross over each other or create closed loops that prevent access to the pantries.
4. The 4 Pantry Pieces must be placed at the end of distinct paths, serving as the destinations for the vegetables.
5. Once all pieces are interlocked and the burrow is complete, place the Farmer figure at the beginning of the path leading to the burrow entrance.

5. Operating Instructions

After the burrow is built, the game proceeds to the second phase: filling the pantries.

Phase 2: Filling the Pantries

1. Choose a starting player.
2. The current player takes one of the wooden Vegetable Tokens and places it into the backpack slot of the Robin Rabbit figure.
3. Place the Robin Rabbit figure on the first square of the Burrow Entrance piece.
4. Roll the wooden Die. Move the Robin Rabbit figure along the path the number of spaces indicated by the die.
5. The goal is to reach one of the four Pantry Pieces. It is not necessary to roll the exact number to land on a pantry. If you land on or pass a pantry, you can choose to stop there.
6. Once Robin Rabbit reaches a Pantry Piece, remove the Vegetable Token from its backpack and place it into the pantry.
7. Return the Robin Rabbit figure to the Burrow Entrance (the 'garden' area) to pick up the next vegetable.
8. The turn then passes to the next player.
9. Farmer's Movement: After each player's turn, move the Farmer figure one step closer to the Burrow Entrance.
10. Winning the Game: If all four pantries are filled with vegetables before the Farmer figure reaches the Burrow Entrance, all players win!
11. Losing the Game: If the Farmer figure reaches the Burrow Entrance before all four pantries are filled, the farmer discovers the rabbit, and the players lose.

6. Maintenance

• To clean the wooden and cardboard pieces, gently wipe them with a dry or slightly damp cloth. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
• Ensure all pieces are completely dry before storing to prevent warping or mold.
• Store the game in its original box in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Regularly check for any signs of wear or damage to the pieces. Discontinue use if any part is broken or poses a safety risk.

7. Troubleshooting

• Missing Pieces: If any pieces are missing upon opening, please contact Goula customer support with your purchase details.
• Difficulty Understanding Rules: Re-read the instructions carefully. For younger children, an adult can guide them through the first few rounds. Cooperative games often require initial guidance.
• Game Board Not Connecting Properly: Ensure all puzzle pieces are oriented correctly and fit snugly. The paths should form a continuous, accessible route to all pantries.
• Game is Too Easy/Difficult: Adjust the challenge by varying the starting position of the farmer or the number of vegetables required (though the standard rules are designed for balanced play).
