Time to Play Z-Game, The Ultimate Outdoor Rabbit Spying Game.

ZGame is an exciting outdoor game which continues to gain popularity around the world. This excellent activity promotes good  sportsmanship, fitness, and love of nature. We welcome everyone to take participation in the game.

Summary: Two or more players are observing rabbits while walking around a country side. Each attempts to notice as many rabbits as possible. When seeing a new rabbit a player announces it.  The player's score is incremented by one or several points according to the point system. Good luck! Point system:

The following sample statements are customary in the game:  "Let ZGame begin"- a person says to start the game. "Good point"- congratulating your opponent who spies an interesting rabbit.  "I see your point now" - acknowledging a rabbit spotted by your opponent.		Bonuses and regulations Zero-pointers - Domestic animals, squirrels, non-mammals, plants ,etc. are traditionally assigned zero points. Note that wild rabbit-eating animals (including non-mammals) are counted as (-1). Unidentifiable- Any rabbit or hare that is too far, too fast ,etc. and cannot be identified clearly is counted as an ordinary 1 pointer. Not mentioned- Any color or shape of a rabbit or a hare not mentioned in these instructions is counted as 10 points (e.g. black, gray, etc.)   Multi-color - average out the point values of the different colors. (unless light blue hare or rabbit - see scoring) Nonchalance- if a rabbit or hare is ignorant of you even when you get close or make noise, add 1 point to whatever it is currently worth. Ultimate-if you see 3 or 4 rabbits or hares in one place, add the number of points of the least valuable rabbit worth to your score. Example: You see 2 One pointers and 1 ten pointer. You will have 13 points. Forbidden-if you see 5 or more rabbits or hares in one place add the number of points of the most valuable rabbit worth to your score.
