Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Using their mice as bait, the players attempt to grab the famous cat in the sack. Also in the sack are a jumble of both good and bad cats. The players can try to bluff one another by sneaking a dog or rabbit into the sack. At the end of the game, the nicest cats and mice will be worth positive points, while possessing the scruffiest cats will count against you.

A great little time filler at game nights. The rules are easy to understand and there is some bluffing and fun as the bidding goes up and up. Not too much strategy, though. Another card game, Coloretto, is more interesting but this is fairly close.

As games go, this is not expensive, so I was willing to try it out when I first saw it.
So far, everyone I have played with has enjoyed it.
It is a bidding/bluffing game that allows verbal player interaction and jesting on the one hand, or serious "poker faces" on the other - depending on who you choose to play with.
I have played with 5th graders to middle aged people since getting my copy.

When reading the instructions, make sure you look at the pictures and everything will become clear.
Shame on you, Amazon, for not having this "good-kitty" in stock!
