All that water from the hurricane has to drain somewhere. Whatever water isn’t absorbed by the plants and ground flows into the nearby river. The river rages with this influx, creating several new tributaries and making it difficult to cross. Pausing only a moment to take a sip from the river’s edge, Red Fox continues his hunt for food. It’s a good thing Red Fox moved his den to a good spot; otherwise, he’d be looking for a new home again. Red Fox must find food near the raging river.
Objective
Navigate the rushing river to capture all 3 rabbits on the riverbanks before Mountain Lion completes one cycle around the Forest Floor. You still lose if Mountain Lion catches you.
CHALLENGE:
Mountain Lion immediately moves one additional space each time a rabbit is caught. Mountain Lion must still stop if it moves into a row or column occupied by Coyote and will move one space instead of losing a turn due to Coyote’s rival ability after a rabbit is caught. If Mountain Lion passes through a row Red Fox occupies, Red Fox loses.
For this scenario only: RABBIT ENCOUNTER
You may roll evasion die the indicated number of times to try to capture a rabbit, except for Baby Eastern Cottontail Rabbit #0. (Normally, you must roll for the Rabbit Encounter ability).
Set up the Forest Floor as pictured in the diagram below, with rows 2 and 4 as the rushing river rows. Place all river cards with a right-facing arrow in ROW 2 and all river cards with the left-facing arrow in ROW 4. Whenever Red Fox enters any river card in ROW 2, immediately end movement and place him on the river card farthest to the right (because he has been carried downriver) and whenever Red Fox enters any river card in ROW 4, immediately end movement and place him on the river card farthest to the left.
Water symbol: When Red Fox lands on a card with this symbol, Red Fox ends movement immediately. And has do not swap.
NOTE: For this scenario, in some rare cases, it may be possible for Red Fox to end his movement on the card he started upon due to the rushing river (which is normally against the rules – but, the rushing river cares not about such rules!)
NOTE: Mountain Lion is not very good at hunting while swimming. So, during this game Red Fox is safe from Mountain Lion when Mountain Lion is in rows 2 and 4.
