As you can see is the boarddisplay not correct yet.

In an earlier screen I showed the number of cards on each field.
For the (full) gameplay it is not needed to know how much cards are set, just if there are cards.

This will save not only an UDG, it will also simplify my routine to make the boarddisplay.

So I will alter it accordingly.

Screen now shows current gameplay.
This is start of game with 4 players.

Smiley is the moving pawn over the board, other fields show cards on that position.

While coding continues I noticed I am not showing the carrot-card.
So I will make the game more visual and less textbased.
PLAYER HAS CARD line will therefore be deleted from the game at this moment.

This saves writing text of the card you will get (it will be shown, either new card or carrot, or no new card at all)
The rules of the game will be explained on paper and you will act according to the situation you will see.

As usual it is going to be tight.

Now at 894 bytes and still to do
1) player luring rabbit
2) AI luring rabbit
3) winner test

all must fit 54 bytes (max size to load in 1K)

Seems more like at slideshow, as the only thing I can do is press N/L and see the game progress.

Am I missing something?

No you are not, due to the 1K I had to skip rules making it indeed more like watching a horserace where you bet on a player to win.

Btw most boardgames don't do much different. If you have just 1 pawn per player and direction of movement is fixed you can't do much more than just move and hope you will get on a right field to reach the end.

I can make it a full version, but that will be a 2K game.

I'm still amazed so much graphics can be in a 1k game.
