Send your cat gangs on daring missions to retrieve the coveted Golden Balls of Yarn. These Golden Balls of Yarn are masterpieces by artist Maximo Kattelan, displayed in a mysterious museum. It's up to your cat gangs to retrieve them, but beware! Other gangs will try to steal your finds, so use traps to mislead them.

Players take turns taking an action, choosing from five different actions:

1. Recruiting two cats
2. Assembling a cat gang
3. Activate cat gang
4. Bringing in the loot
5. Infiltrate

By recruiting cats, players form a cat gang that attempts to obtain Golden Balls of Wool. Larger cat gangs have a greater chance of success, but need time to grow. By then activating this cat gang, they can locate a Golden Ball of Wool or set a trap for another cat gang. A cat gang that infiltrates can steal a Golden Ball of Wool from another player. But beware of the traps! These cause your opponent's cat gangs to grow and thus become stronger.
