This expansion pack, 'The Pink Fluffy Bunny', isn't just another piece on the board; it replaces one of the original dragons and brings a whole new dynamic to the game. Think of it as a single-tile dragon, but with a special temper. The Fluffy Bunny plays in double turns, alternating between 'spirit' and 'matter', making it unpredictable and fast. But the real excitement begins when its water runs out. Upon depleting its water meter, it enters 'Rabid Last Stand', flipping to its scarier side. From then on, it gains an extra double turn for each point of overkill damage it has taken. It's its chance to win at all costs! If it can't achieve victory in this final fury, then, it's game over for it. This expansion adds an extra layer of strategy and an 'all or nothing' element that can completely turn the game around. It's ideal for those who already enjoy the base Tao Long and want a more volatile and adrenaline-filled option. With a playtime of only 20 minutes and playable for 2 to 4 people, the Pink Fluffy Bunny guarantees quick and intense matches, full of crucial decisions and a dramatic finish. Can you handle the angry cuteness before it's too late? ## How to Play Game Objective In Tao Long: The Way of the Dragon – The Pink Fluffy Bunny, players take on the role of Fluffy, a bunny who is tired of dragons fighting and decides to teach them a lesson. Fluffy's main objective is to defeat the opposing dragon. If Fluffy manages to defeat the dragon while in their Bunny's Wrath phase, they win the game. However, if the opposing dragon is still in play at the end of all of Fluffy's extra turns, Fluffy falls and rests, which implies a defeat for the bunny. Setup Refer to the manual for details on this section. Fluffy-Specific Components 1 Pink Fluffy Bunny and Bunny's Wrath Piece Initial Assembly Replace one of the dragons with Fluffy. Place the Fluffy piece with the Pink Fluffy Bunny side up where the replaced dragon's head would be. Gameplay Flow Fluffy functions exactly like a dragon, with a few important exceptions. On their turns, Fluffy performs two Spirit phases, each followed by a Matter phase. Both of their Spirit phases can generate extra Spirit phases as a result of Wind and Thunder actions. Actions and How to Play Fluffy's Movement When moving Fluffy, treat their single piece as a dragon's head. As they have no segments, Fluffy passes through portals without needing to flip them to their occupied face. Fluffy's Turn Phases On their turns, Fluffy performs two Spirit phases, each followed by a Matter phase. Both of their Spirit phases can generate extra Spirit phases as a result of Wind and Thunder actions. Fluffy's Defeat Fluffy is defeated as soon as their water marker runs out. Bunny's Wrath As soon as Fluffy is defeated, flip their piece to the Bunny's Wrath side. For each damage received beyond what was sufficient for their defeat, they receive 1 extra turn. Remember that their turns are doubled! End of Game and Scoring End Game Trigger The game continues as long as Fluffy is in play and, after their initial defeat, as long as they have extra turns in the Bunny's Wrath phase.
