About Max the Tomcat

There are four animals in the game. All the players are responsible for the bird, mouse, and chipmunk's safe journey to their home in a tree at the end of the gameboard path. Unfortunately the tomcat "Max" is a natural hunter and chaser (he can't help himself) and is a continual threat. The goal is for the players to work together to get the three animals to the safety of the tree. All the animals move based on the roll of two dice, each containing three black pips
