In Rafter Five, you and your fellow players want to build as large a raft as possible — but you want to end up being the only one who can board it.

To start, stack the box top and bottom to create a base, then place the five wooden rafter pieces on the starting card on top of the base.

On a turn, lift a rafter, place a raft card on the playing area, replace the rafter, then place one of your treasure chests somewhere on the raft...ideally in a precarious position because if someone else knocks off this chest, they must keep it in their hold.

If a player collects five treasure chests owned by other players in their hold, they're out of the game! (You can knock off your own chests without penalty, but you're making the game easier for everyone else.)

in tricks without knowing the colour of your cards until you play them.

Cat in the Box is a trick-taking card game from Japan, based upon ideas from quantum mechanics. Players play cards from their hands of different values, but the colour of the card is not determined until the card is played, and the cat is let out of the box!

As a player leads with a card from their hand, they declare its colour. A player's marker goes onto the communal research board, covering the value for that colour. Subsequent cards must have different values of the same colour if possible. However, a player may declare that they do not have any more cards of that colour, and so play the same value but in a different colour. That player now marks their own board for Do Not Have in that colour.

The highest card of the colour lead wins the trick, unless a card is declared as red, the trump colour.

Crucially, all cards values and colours played out must be unique, otherwise a paradox is formed, ending the round.
