Rabbit
Rabbit is a game where one player holds the rabbit at a time, and whoever holds it when the nine ends collects from everyone else. The rabbit changes hands whenever someone wins a hole outright.
How to play
- No one holds the rabbit at the start. The first player to win a hole outright catches it.
- If a different player later wins a hole outright, the rabbit is set loose (or passes to the new winner if you set it to pass).
- A loose rabbit is caught by the next outright winner.
- At the end of each nine, whoever holds the rabbit collects the stake from every other player.
- If the rabbit is loose at the end, the pot carries to the next segment by default.
Example
Ann wins hole 1 outright and holds the rabbit. Bo wins hole 2 outright, so the rabbit is set loose. Cy wins hole 3 outright and catches it. Nobody wins a hole outright for the next six holes, so Cy holds it at the end of the nine.
