How to play

Number of players: 3 or more.

Additional equipment: None required.

How to play: Two players stand back to back and call out at the same time "Cat, dog, rat...JUMP!" and on the command of jump, both have to jump onto one of the painted symbols. Depending on which symbol they land on, one player is the winner - dog beats cat, cat beats rat, rat beats dog. If they land on the same symbol the game is a draw and they play again. Whoever loses is out of the game and the next player challenges the winner.
