Race to the rescue in this fun and fast-paced game for 2 to 4 players. Take on the role of a firefighter and be the first to save two cats stuck high up in a tree. It’s a colourful dash of dice rolling, ladder climbing and quick thinking.
How to Play: Each player chooses a fireman and a fire engine of the same colour, placing them in the matching plastic holders. On your turn, roll the dice and move your fire engine along the coloured path around the board. When your engine lands on the next colour in front of your fireman, he climbs up one rung of the ladder. You can only move up one step at a time, and the aim is to reach the red panel at the top of the ladder. Rescue a cat, return your fireman to the base, and go again! The first player to rescue two cats wins the game. If another engine blocks your space, you’ll have to take the one behind – it might help or hinder your plans!
