Fifteen minutes later, the game will be over and you can all pause for air � but that just leaves you time to play again. Discover dozens of trap cards bearing the image of the most moronic Rabbids in Creation and three special cards which are stark "Raving" mad. Includes a bag to carry the game everywhere.

Tribbit
Tribbit is a fun exercise in visual discrimination. The frogs on the 112 cards have a number of similarities in their fashionable outfits -- maybe it's their canes or their vests or the hats perked jauntily atop their heads. Players are each dealt 16 frog cards. Which frogs have vests? Glasses? Spot the traits and sort the frogs into sets of three. Think a frog belongs in the "moustache" mix? You might need to think again and group him with the cane-carrying crew to complete more sets. Players need to spot all these similarities and strategize how to sort them to create the most sets of three to earn tokens and win the game.

Love Letter
Love Letter is a game of risk, deduction, and luck for 2-4 players. All of the eligible young men (and many of the not-so-young) seek to woo the princess of Tempest. Unfortunately, she has locked herself in the palace, and you must rely on others to bring your romantic letters to her. Will yours reach her first? Your goal is to get your love letter into Princess Annette's hands while deflecting the letters from competing suitors. From a deck with only sixteen cards, each player starts with only one card in hand; one card is removed from play. On a turn, you draw one card, and play one card, trying to expose others and knock them from the game. Powerful cards lead to early gains, but make you a target. Rely on weaker cards for too long, however, and your letter may be tossed in the fire!
