 The rules of Cat Attack can seem simple to some but confusing to others and are also guilty of having the odd bit of ambiguity. Below are some FAQs (and a few tips) to clarify any areas that might seem confusing. All of these issues have been addressed since the first edition (2 leaflet rules) with a 1 page concertina leaflet of the rules, reformatted to be much more user friendly. If you have a two leaflet game and would like the new format, please send us your existing rules and we will post them to you. Q. The victory conditions state that you have to have the six items and also return to home by movement. How about if you get caught raiding and get sent home after losing lives? A. You must return to your Home square with the exact throw of the dice, not by being sent home. If you are sent home to a full larder, you must leave your home and return to your home square with the correct value dice. i.e. if you are 4 squares away you must throw a 4. Q. Where do the birds and mice go when they escape? A. Birds are returned to the bird box and mice are returned to the Mousehole Shed. Q. Can there be more than one bird or mouse in play A. Yes. All the birds and mice on the board can be in play at the same time. Q. I feel puzzled about what to do when you've got a handful of mice Mog cards but you've already got a mouse in your larder and won't therefore benefit from moving any more mice around the board. A.
Try moving birds and mice away from cats that don’t have one. You can
use your bird and mice cards to have ‘CAT FIGHTS’ and to move a bird or mouse
out of a cats' larder using the ‘6 BIRD OR MOUSE CARDS’ rule. If all the birds
and mice are in larders and you play a bird or mouse card, simply pick up a card from the
Mog pile and move nothing. A. A cat can only pick a Cat Fight as the 'Play a Mog card’ phase of a turn, (followed by the throw of the dice), or when instructed by a Curiosity card to ‘Play another Mog card’. Q. If the opponent (of a Cat Fight or a Cat Attack) is on a Curiosity square; do you take a (Curiosity) card? A. If you land on a Curiosity square, regardless of how you got there, you pick up a Curiosity card. Q. Do you get caught Trespassing if another cat is sent home (by being attacked etc)? Or do they have to get home under their own steam? A. If a cat returns to its Home square or garden by any means, any cat in
that cats garden is ‘Caught trespassing’. A. A ‘CAT FIGHT’ is the same principle as playing a Cat attack
card. If a cat is no more than 6 squares away, you can declare a ‘CAT FIGHT’,
but instead of automatically winning, as with a Cat Attack card, follow the ‘CAT
FIGHT’ rules. |
