Place the remaining Caring Cat tokens in the hole in the street (board). The mouse marker and side track are not used. On turn, roll the die. If it shows a 1-5, move that many spaces. If it shows the mouse, lose your turn. If you land on a Sun space, take a Caring Cat token from the hole in the street. If you land on a dirt heap, return a Caring Cat token in the hole. If you land on a path space, do nothing. If you land on a card with a heart, reveal a card then play a Caring Cat token, descrbe somethign kind that cat would do in the pictured situation, and take a charm token.

The mouse starts on the first space of the side track and move 1 step toward the school each time a Mouse is rolled. players win if they collectively collect 5 charm tokens before Mean Mouse reaches the school.
