The Alley Cats Game (1976)

About this game

'It's supper time down on the alley and all the cats are setting out on their nightly prowl. With fish galore to be found, the cats cross the wall to forage in the dustbins on the other side, BUT WATCH OUT, because hiding somewhere under the dustbin lids are some mean old bulldogs, who together with the other cats are going to try and stop you getting that fish home.'

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
