Feed the Kitty comes with a kitty food bowl, 20 wooden mice, and 2 custom dice. The object of the game is to be the last person with mice. The roll of the dice will determine your mice's fate. There are four possibilities: put one mouse in Kitty's bowl, pass one mouse to the player on your left, take a mouse from Kitty's bowl, or do nothing. You roll two dice, so you will have two actions. When you run out of mice, you can't roll the dice. Don't fret just yet. Wait until the player to your right rolls to see if they have to pass a mouse to you. If they do not, then you are out of the game. The game continues until only one person has at least one mouse.
