## Description
Get ready for lemming madness in Leaping Lemmings! In this hilarious game for 2 to 6 players, you lead a clan of genetically engineered rodents to glory – or off the cliff. The objective? Guide your clumsy lemmings through a hexagonal grid canyon to the cliff's edge, and then... a spectacular dive! But it's not just about jumping; distance and style points are crucial, and one lemming with a stylish dive is worth more than several mundane ones. Watch out for hungry eagles circling overhead, ready to turn your lemmings into a quick snack. Each turn, a movement card dictates how many steps your little critters can take, but everyone uses the same card, so luck is more shared here. An interesting tactic is stacking your lemmings on top of opponents to slow them down, but beware: the lemming at the top of the stack is the primary target for the eagles. Use Special Actions to turn the game in your favor or hinder the competition. Collect Lemming Chow Pellets and perform stylish dives to rack up victory points and secure your clan's win. It's a crazy race with touches of luck, strategy, and plenty of guaranteed laughs!
