Play Go Go Jenny! (Japanese)

Key Features

The rabbits “Jenny” are chasing each other on the animal course!

A game where you chase after the wooden rabbit tokens called Jenny along a course made up of Dobutsu no Oshiri Cards (Animal’s butt cards).
Move your own Jenny wisely, catch up with the Jenny in front of you, and overtake it!

Flip the “Go Go Cards” using your memory!

To advance your Jenny, flip the same card as the animal you are going to from the Go Go Cards on the field. Where is which animal?
If you flip the white card “Common-chan”, you will be penalized!

The cards are the cute butts of 10 different animals and “Comon-chan”

Game Overview

Instruction Video (Japanese)

Lay out the running course and place Jenny at the starting position.

Place the cards face down in a field to make “Go Go Cards” (flip cards), and then line up the cards face up in a circle to create a course for the wooden rabbit tokens “Jenny” to run along.
Place all the Jenny tokens on the course at equal intervals and you’re ready to go!

Flip the matching card to advance your Jenny!

The active player flips over one of the Go Go cards.
If the card you flip over is the same animal as the one you are going to on the course, you can advance your Jenny, but if it is a different animal, you cannot advance.
Put the card back face down in the same place. The key is to remember where each animal is!

Your Jenny will sometimes jump or fly!

Normally, you will move one space ahead of the card with your Jenny on it, but when you are on a Rabbit card, you will jump two spaces ahead, and when you are on a Java Sparrow card, you will fly three spaces ahead.

If you flip a “Comon-chan,” you get a penalty!

If the card you flip is a Comon-chan (white card), you move your Jenny back one space. In addition, the Go Go Cards are reshuffled.
Oh no, I’ve lost track of where all the animals are!

Overtake the other Jenny to win!

Each player takes their turn, and the winner is the first player to overtake the other Jenny!
