Vibe's take

Light and tense, every auction a guessing game over whether the hidden sack holds a prize cat or a spoiler dog you should avoid.

About this game

A clever, bluffy auction game about grabbing the best cats out of a sack, since good cats score you points and bad cats count against you. Players can slip dogs or rabbits into the sack instead of cats to mislead everyone, so you are always guessing whether that bag is a prize or a trap.
