FOREST FLOOR
Storyline Campaign
SUMMER SCENARIO 11.1:
Breeding Out of Control
Have you ever wondered where the saying “breed like rabbits” comes from? Take the Eastern Cottontail, one of Red Fox’s favorite meals. These rabbits have roughly three to four litters a year, with a litter having as many as 12 rabbits! That’s a lot of rabbits. As new life emerges from the recently established warren in Red Fox’s territory, these rabbits have begun eating all the plants in the area. Red Fox is ready to help keep the rabbit population under control, along with all of the other animals of the Forest Floor. They certainly don’t want all those rabbits eating all the food!
Objective
Catch all five rabbits in two days (before the Sun/Moon token makes it twice around the Forest Floor). You do not lose if you are in the same row or column as Mountain Lion. However, you DO lose if Mountain Lion lands on the same card as you (either during his movement or at the end of his movement) or if you are cornered and cannot move on your next turn.
CHALLENGE
For this game, Mountain Lion will move on top of cards, just like Red Fox, and follow all movement instructions according to the Mountain Lion Movement Chart below. Add both Baby Eastern Cottontail Rabbit cards from the Auxiliary deck to your Forest Floor deck. Shuffle all cards, create a 5-row x 8-column Forest Floor, and deal 5 cards (
) faceup alongside the Forest Floor, leaving space for the Sun/Moon token’s path. The remaining two cards will be placed near the Forest Floor as your draw pile.
At any point during the game, when Red Fox lands on and reveals any card, instead of activating that card’s ability you may immediately swap it with the faceup card in your current row and activate that card’s ability instead. Place the swapped-out card in a discard pile, the new card will remain on the Forest Floor unless it has the 
Dropped Prey symbol. You may only swap out revealed cards. You cannot swap cards with the 
do not swap ability.
Mountain Lion starts on the Forest Floor on either the Hurricane or Black Vulture card, your choice. If neither are on the Forest Floor, then Mountain Lion begins the game anywhere you wish.
GAPS
For this scenario, rabbits do not get replaced with a card from the deck as normal. Instead, they leave a gap on the Forest Floor. Red Fox cannot move onto or through gaps; however, Mountain Lion can move onto and through gaps. If a rabbit successfully evades Red Fox, it may be placed into a gap if no other option is available. Gaps move with Hurricane just like cards do.
MOUNTAIN LION MOVEMENT
Mountain Lion moves only on cards and/or gaps this game and moves according to the Mountain Lion Movement Chart below, however, you must ALWAYS choose the option that moves it closest to Red Fox. Also, Mountain Lion moves twice on each turn that you successfully catch a rabbit. The Carrion’s 
what’s that smell ability and White-Tailed Deer’s 
safely distracted ability have no effect on this game.

Movement Instructions + Chart
For this scenario, Mountain Lion movement is much different than normal.
Each turn, after you move Red Fox, roll the Evasion die and move Mountain Lion according to the chart below. Keeping in mind:
- Choose the option that moves it closer to Red Fox.
- Mountain Lion ignores all card abilities and can move atop any card on the Forest Floor.
- If Mountain Lion is unable to move its full distance, then move him according to the second option. If it cannot move according to second option, then move it as far as it can possibly go according to the first option.
- In rare cases when Mountain Lion cannot move, it chooses not to. Leave it where it is.
- Mountain Lion has the (block symbol) ability.
- Ignore these abilities: Carrion’s (what’s that smell symbol), Coyote’s
(rivals symbol) and White-Tailed Deer’s (safely distracted symbol).
WINNING:
You win if you capture all 5 rabbits.
LOSING:
You do not lose if you are in the same row or column as Mountain Lion.
However, you DO lose if Mountain Lion lands on the same card as you (either during his movement or at the end of his movement) or if you are cornered and cannot move on your next turn.
SUMMER SCENARIO 11.2:
Breeding Out of Control: Time's Running Out
Objective + CHALLENGE
Same as 11.1; except the game ends when Sun/Moon token completes 1¼ cycles.
LOSING:
You do not lose if you are in the same row or column as Mountain Lion.
However, you DO lose if Mountain Lion lands on the same card as you (either during his movement or at the end of his movement) or if you are cornered and cannot move on your next turn.
FOREST FLOOR SET UP
SUMMER SCENARIO 11.3:
Breeding Out of Control: Odds Stacked Against You
Objective + CHALLENGE
Same as 11.2, except:
1) Black Vulture and Black Bear cards are also required. Red Fox cannot start on either of these two cards.
2) Add Mountain Lion token. Now there are two Mountain Lions hunting Red Fox! After moving the Sun/Moon token, roll for each Mountain Lion individually following the same movement rules as 11.1 with the exception that Mountain Lions can never occupy the same card. Roll for standee first, then token. If a Mountain Lion’s only movement option would land them on the other Mountain Lion’s card, then they opt not to move instead.
3) Start the game by placing the Mountain Lions on Black Vulture and Black Bear cards. You decide which one goes on which card.
LOSING:
You do not lose if you are in the same row or column as Mountain Lion.
However, you DO lose if either Mountain Lion lands on the same card as you (either during his movement or at the end of his movement) or if you are cornered and cannot move on your next turn.
