Officer Rank Cards

Officer Rank cards are numbered (O-1 to O-6). O-1 (pronounced oh-one) is the lowest rank and O-6 is the highest rank. Although many bunnies in The Bunny Circle may carry a Rank card (either Enlisted or Officer), only the highest Enlisted ranked bunny (HERB) and the highest Officer ranked bunny (HORB) will be given a special privilege.

The special privilege awarded to the player who owns the highest Officer ranked bunny (HORB) is the ability to play an extra card directly from his five-card hand each turn. The card may be played at the start, middle or end of a player’s turn. If the card is a Run card, then the player may use or discard it. If the card is a Special (or Very Special) card, then the player may use or save it. A player who obtains the HORB may use the special privilege during the turn it was acquired. A player who has the second highest Officer ranked bunny is encouraged to kill the HORB so that he may obtain the special privilege for himself.

Recall that the special privilege was also given to the player who owns the highest Enlisted ranked bunny (HERB). This privilege still exists with one minor rule change. If any bunnies in The Bunny Circle have Officer ranks, then the player who owns the HERB must ask the permission of the player who owns the HORB to use the special privilege. If the player who owns the HORB replies in the negative, then the player who owns the HERB loses the special privilege for one round of play. The player who owns the HERB may ask permission each round of play, but the decision to allow him the special privilege, or to disallow him the special privilege, lies solely with the player who owns the HORB at the time.

If at any time, no bunnies with Officer ranks are in The Bunny Circle, then the player who owns the HERB may use the special privilege without asking anyone’s permission.

The Highest Officer Ranked Bunny card should always be placed on top of the HORB to denote which player gets the special privilege and to act as a bulls-eye. A Clear stand is provided to keep the card in place.
