Flat River Group 9th Level Games Schrodinger's Cats

This was definitely one of those games that we instantly had to buy after playing a friend's copy. It's quick to teach and as a rule book stickler, I love that these were written and formatted well. (My pet peeve is poorly worded/vague rules!) The alternate rules for two to three players are very good too, and sometimes I prefer it over the elimination style for new players, so they can get more rounds in. I'd say games take 10-20 minutes depending on the number of players. I love it, so go play it already!

As others have said this plays similarly to liar's dice where players bid on the number of alive cats, dead cats, or empty boxes in the players hands. The one time use powers are interesting and it doesn't take long to play a few games. It is easy and quick to learn.

Much like the game "liars dice", but with a much easier-to-follow bidding system. Also, the cards are funny and the scientist's single use "hero powers" are amusing.Cards are dealt to each person. These cards depict a mix of alive cat boxes, dead cat boxes, empty boxes, and wild cards. On your turn, you must bid to determine whether you believe there are X-number of alive boxes, dead boxes, or empty boxes dealt to the group. Each bid after this must increase (there's an easy little board to keep track of it). If you think the previous bid was too high and impossible, you call their bluff. If you're right, they're out. If you're wrong, you're out. Very simple, and quick, but amusing!

We purchased this game for our son's birthday. He,our daughter-in-law and their friends have enjoyed playing it. In addition, we have heard interesting comments about the images on the cards The next time we visit them (They are in Florida and we are in Michigan.) we hope to have a chance to play this game with them..

We love games. We love cats. We love being challenged. We hated this game. It was beyond frustrating to learn...even after watching videos. Horrible.

My kids (11 and 15) think this game is the best thing ever. They liked it so much that I had to buy a second set so they could each play with their friends. Highly recommend.

Rules very difficult. Takes quite a long time to learn how to play the game.
