schroedingerscats
Schrödinger’s Cats is a pseudo-scientific card game of strategic uncertainty for 2-6 players. A fast, fun game of bluffing, deduction, and cute cat pictures!
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 about the cats in boxes experiment and maybe we're even curious about the results -- but attempting such an experiment would be INSANE in real life! Now you can try your hand at challenging the uncertainty principle without risking the lives of innocent kittens or exposure to radioactive particles! Awww!
In Schrödinger’s Cats players run experiments, form hypotheses, and try to one-up each other’s research. Players take on the role of a Cat Physicist such as Albert Felinestein, Sally Prride, or Neil deGrasse Tabby! Using their special ability to help prove their hypothesis, or at least debunk someone else’s, each cat physicist tries to determine the minimum number of alive cats, dead cats, or empty boxes across all the boxes in Schrödinger’s lab.
You may not be certain your hypothesis is valid, but if you love cats, science, and games you will be certain to love the Schrödinger's Cats card game!

Regelsammendrag
Set Up (that you need to know)
a) One doctorate card is dealt to each player and one doctorate card is placed in the discard pile.
b) Deal a number of boxes to each player equal to the number of players. (e.g. with 4 players, deal 4 boxes to each player)
c) Set up a research deck.
Types of Boxes (Cards)
Alive Cats
It has the lowest rank. There are 20 alive cats in the deck.
Dead Cats
It has a higher rank than alive cats but a lower rank than empty boxes. There are 20 dead cats in the deck.
Empty Boxes
It has the highest rank. When proposing a hypothesis, it has double value. There are 8 empty boxes in the deck.
Heisenbergs
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
a) You must make a hypothesis (bid) of higher value than the last scientist's (player's) after reviewing your hand. This means you must make a bid that is to the right or down from the current bid on the bidding card. The current hypothesis (bid) is indicated by a circle.
b) Then, you may show some of your findings by playing cards from your hand of the type matching your current bid. Then you may discard up to as many remaining boxes (cards) in your hand as you placed face up and then re-draw the same number.
c) You may reveal your doctorate (cat physicist card). If you do so, activate its ability, then discard the doctorate card (for the rest of the game).
d) If you think the previous scientist's (player's) bid is unlikely to be true, call the last scientist's hypothesis into question. The findings are counted (total cards from everyone's hands) and the scientist with the wrong hypothesis is out of the game (challenger or bidder). The scientist who debunks or is confirmed starts the next round.
