The Crow is not pleased that another animal has stolen her food. With several loud caws, Crow swoops down, harrying Red Fox. As Red Fox tries to flee, Crow follows, loudly squawking the entire time. It will be hard for Red Fox to hunt when such a noisy creature is broadcasting their location to both predator and prey! Red Fox has to carefully tread the hostile Forest Floor as he tries to find food while Crow seeks her revenge.
Objective
Catch three rabbits before the Sun/Moon token and Crow card complete one cycle around the Forest Floor.
CHALLENGE
Before Red Fox moves each turn, Crow will swap cards on the Forest Floor according to the Crow Swap chart below. If Crow attempts to swap a card with the do not swap ability, do nothing and leave those two cards in place. Crow can swap cards if they are underneath the card the Red Fox token sits upon.
Squawking Distraction:
Crow begins the game on the outside of the Forest Floor, in the exact position indicated in the diagram. Each turn, after moving the Sun/Moon token clockwise one space, also move Crow one space clockwise. You cannot flip over any card or activate any rabbit encounter ability in the row or column that the Crow card is aligned with, but you may still occupy the card. In some cases, Crow may be aligned with a row AND a column.
