Jumping Jackalopes is a card game for two to five players who each turn play cards either to start a new set or add to an existing set of mythical creatures. Each creature has its own unique ability that activates when it is played that will help the player in some way. Additionally, players may also play a Jackalope on to one of the mythical creature sets in front of them. Playing a Jackalope causes a different Jackalope to jump from its current location to a different one. At the end of each round players score for the mythical creatures in front of them as well as a number of points for Jackalopes they control. Jackalopes are worth one point for each different mythical creature that a jackalope is on amongst all players. .
