Max*

Four animals are involved in the game. Players must ensure the safe journey of a bird, a mouse, and a chipmunk to their home in a tree at the end of the board path. The cat, Max, is a constant threat as a natural predator, and players need to work together to bring the three animals to safety.

Movement is determined by dice rolls, with different dynamics for Max and the other animals. While players can choose to move their animals intentionally, Max has an advantage in distance and frequency of movement. Each animal has shortcuts on the board that can help them evade Max, but these can be missed if the entry point is rolled too far. Ultimately, players win or lose together based on their success in rescuing the three animals before Max can catch them.
