6. You’re ready to begin the Start of the Week!

Each player’s turn has two phases:

Phase 1 – Take ONE Action

• Rescue a Cat → Pay the Resource costs and add the cat to any legal room in your office.

• Buy a Room → Pay the Resource costs and place it adjacent to another room in your office. (remember you can only build 3 wide and 3 up)

• Collect Resources → Gain 1 food OR 1 litter.

• Move/Swap Cats → Move 1 cat or swap 2 cats between adjacent rooms.

Additional Free Actions:

• Pay 1 Food to refresh Cat Draft (Each additional Refresh per turn costs 1 more food, for each draft)

• Pay 1 litter to refresh room draft (Each additional Refresh per turn costs 1 more litter, for each draft)

Move/Swap Cats → Move 1 cat between rooms, or swap 2 cats.

Phase 2 – Place a Client

• Each player must place 1 client card into a valid room (respecting client capacity & traits).

• You gain the rewards and consequences listed for each matching trait.

• If you gain no rewards, or lose any resources (even if you would get positive rewards as well) you fail and gain no reward. Additionally place the client face up next to the week tracker.

• Otherwise you successfully treat your client and flip the card over and place on the side.

• Once the last player has taken their turn, the first player moves the tracker to the next day and repeats until the Weekend.

• One Starting Room is on the bottom floor

• Max 3 rooms per floor

• Max 3 floors total

• All rooms have a 1 token limit

• Remember that cats can only be swapped or moved into adjacent rooms!

Room Rules

• Therapy Rooms as indicated have Catpacity values that determine how many cats can be placed in the room at a time. 

• Only 1 Token allowed per room
