Description
Uncertainty didn't kill the cat, but that doesn't mean it's not dead. Dr Erwin Schrödinger and Werner Heisenberg taught us that. We've all heard of the experiment with cats in boxes and may even be curious about the results – but attempting such an experiment in real life would be CRAZY! Now you can try your hand at disproving the uncertainty principle without risking the lives of innocent cats or exposure to radioactive particles! Phew!In the board game Schroedinger's Cats, players conduct experiments, form hypotheses and try to outdo each other's research. Players take on the role of a cat physicist, such as Albert Felinestein, Sally Prride or Neil deGrasse Tabby. Each cat physicist has their own special ability to prove their hypothesis – or at least disprove someone else's – trying to determine the minimum number of alive cats, dead cats or empty boxes in all the boxes in Schrödinger's lab.In more detail, each player starts with six cards in hand, along with a physicist card. The first player claims how many identical cards – be it an alive cat, a dead cat or an empty box – are present among all the cards in play. The next player can increase the number of that claim or statement. Each player can use their ability once per round.When a player makes a claim, whoever was right – either about the claim or about doubting it – stays in the game, while the other player is eliminated. Each remaining player gets a new hand with one card fewer, and you play rounds until only one player remains.
