Get the rabbits out of the building in Hopp hopp Häschen before they drown, and rescue as many of them as you can! Each turn, the colored die determines which doorway is open to a rabbit. If no rabbit is on the step of that color, you place a rabbit on that step; if a rabbit is already on that step, then you collect the rabbit and keep it. Roll the wild symbol, and you get to free a rabbit from anywhere. Once the floor of the building is empty, whether or not all the rabbits have been claimed, the game ends and whoever has collected the most rabbits wins!
