Bunny Kingdom’s core scoring rule is simple: during each Harvest, every one of your fiefs scores Strength × Wealth. Most scoring errors come from deciding what belongs to a fief or what counts toward each factor.
What is a fief?
A fief is one territory or a group of your controlled territories connected along their sides. Diagonal contact does not connect territories. If two groups do not have an orthogonal chain of your territories between them, they are separate fiefs and score separately.
How is Strength calculated?
Strength is the total number of towers in the Cities located inside that fief. Add the tower values together to obtain the fief’s Strength.
How is Wealth calculated?
Wealth is the number of different Resource types produced inside the fief. Multiple copies of the same Resource still count as only one type for Wealth.
Scoring example
Suppose one connected fief has Cities totaling 4 Strength and produces three different Resource types. That fief scores:
4 × 3 = 12 points during that Harvest.
If you later connect a fourth unique Resource while Strength remains 4, the next Harvest value becomes 4 × 4 = 16. If instead you add a 1-tower City while Wealth remains 3, it becomes 5 × 3 = 15.
When do fiefs score?
Harvest happens at the end of every round. Because the game lasts four rounds, an early improvement can score several times. This is why timing matters even when two board states would be identical by the end of the game.
What happens when two fiefs connect?
Once your territories create a valid connection, they become one fief. For future Harvests, calculate the combined Strength and combined set of different Resources for the newly connected area.
Do duplicate Resources score anything?
A duplicate Resource does not add another point of Wealth merely for being duplicated. It may still matter for a Parchment condition or another effect, but the basic Harvest formula counts types, not copies.
When do Parchments score?
Parchment cards stay secret during play. After the fourth-round Harvest, reveal them and score the conditions or points printed on them. They are added after the repeated fief scoring rather than being included in the Strength × Wealth formula.
Common scoring mistakes
- Multiplying all of your total Strength by all of your total Wealth across the entire board. Score each separate fief independently.
- Connecting territories diagonally.
- Counting duplicate Resources as new Wealth.
- Forgetting a fourth-round Harvest before Parchments are revealed.
- Applying a Parchment condition during every Harvest instead of at end game.
