We liked:

• The game is fun and helps us to keep fit.

We are not clear about:

1. How do the bunnies get to jail? Bunnies get to jail by the foxes tagging them or the fox catching the ball the bunny is meant to catch
2. What does 7-100 mean? It means how many plays can play
3. What do the fox do when they get tagged? The go to the farmers jail until another fox saves them
4. Why do the farmers not go to jail? The farmers go to jail because bunnies and foxes can't hurt farmers
5. What are the balls for? The balls are for passing to your team.
