Takes about 3mins to setup and great fun!

EDIT: After reading the wiki details I see why not many people played this great game. I wonder if I can find this great game stored away at my brothers... considering it's a collectors item.

Check this out..

Hrrrm its possible, This had an actual board with it and pieces and I believe that the Mail order catalogue for things you could order like the Bear traps and stuff had actual cards for the different items. So it wasnt just an RPG with a book and nothing else. In fact I dont recall a GURPS book.

But it was something I found at a garage sale that was probably missing some stuff in the first place.

Could have been though.. I did a search for Bunnies & Burrows but I wasnt able to find any pictures of a board that may have come with it.

Here is the family list...

Blokus
Scattergories (can be frustrating with wrong group)
Break the Safe (with the young kids)
Wise and Otherwise (a hoot)
What were you thinking?
Outburst

No, B&B was a tabletop RPG; the GURPS version is still available as a PDF.

I do remember the boardgame described, but never played it, myself. I haven't given up on searching out the title, yet; if I find it, I'll post a followup to this post later.

If an eBay search for "dark tower game" is any indicator, about ~$75 right now.

I thought I was going to have to go through a box of old magazines to get the title from a review, but my subconscious spit out the keyword I needed when I woke up this morning. (The human brain is an amazing thing.)

You are remembering Wabbit Wampage. The Images section of that page includes several of the Mail Order cards.

Just today got some spare money and bought Pandemic and Agricola.

Although neither fit the usual theme of my games, both show promise.

If you're just starting out w/ Agricola, I strongly recommend playing its solitare scenario until you can beat it consistently. Just as w/ Dom3, there's a lot of things that you should get right in SP before trying MP. I got clobbered a lot in Agricola until I took the time to practice it SP.
