Set Up (that you need to know)

• One doctorate card is dealt to each player and a docterate is placed in the discard pile.
• Deal a number of boxes to each player as the number of players. (e.g. with 4 players, deal 4 boxes to each player)
• Set up a research deck.

Types of boxes

• Alive: It has the lowest rank. There are 20 alive cats in the deck.
• Dead: It has a higher rank than alive cats but a lower rank than empty boxes. There are 20 dead cats in the deck.
• Empty: It has the highest rank. When proposing a hypothesis, it has double value. There are 8 empty boxes in the deck.
• Heisenberg: It is like a wild card, but it always counts towards the current bid. Because of this, a hypothesis of Heisenbergs is never allowed. There are 4 Heisenbergs in the deck.

On Your Turn

• You must make a hypothesis larger than the last scientist's after reviewing your hand.
• Then, you may show some of your findings as the type stated. You may discard up to as many boxes as placed face up and draw the same number.
• You may reveal your doctorate. If you do so, activate it's ability.
• If you don't want to bid, call the last scientist's hypothesis into question. The findings are counted and the scientist with the wrong hypothesis is out of the game. The scientist who debunks or is confirmed starts the next round.

Doctorate Powers

• Albert Felinestein: Discard your research and draw an equal number of boxes.
• Cecelia Pounce: Add 2 alive cats findings this experiment.
• Madam Purrie: Discard all alive cat findings.
• Maria Goeppertmeower: Add 1 empty box findings this experiment.
• Mittens Faraday: Discard all dead cat findings.
• Neil Degrasse Tabby: Use the ability of a face-up cat scientist.
• Sally Prride: You may look at the discard this turn.
• Sir Isaac Mewton: Draw 2 additional boxes from the research deck.
• Stephen Pawking: Skip your hypothesis this turn.
• Whiskers Feyncat: Do not count Heisenbergs as findings this experiment.
