About the game
Hedgehog's Revenge is, at its core, a race game. Each player has four cars, each of which must be brought to a particular destination; the first player to do so wins. To this basic game hedgehogs are added; each player also has four hedgehogs, which when they reach an opponent's car require that player to draw a hedgehog's revenge card. This is where the game really gets exciting, as these cards require players to answer various trivia questions, tell stories, perform feats of dexterity, or even sing.
