About the game
A new character for Wild Cats, Hitcat, delivered in Board Game of the Month Club January 2016 package. January 2016 games were inspired by Pulp Fiction.

You want to assess the group and vote with the crowd to tie for the win. If you mess up, you'll make multiple other players win, which is never good. RULES You MAY lie. The player you vote for is eliminated. This may cause multiple eliminations and multiple winners. You tie for the win if only one player is eliminated.
