You are the Pack's handler. Rusty plans, Oreo brings the chaos. You play cards to pull off a 2 AM cheese heist. It's a deckbuilder: build a plan, beat the threats, crack the drawer.
🧀 Fill LOOT to win
The gold bar is your heist progress. Reach the turn's target and you breach the drawer and win the encounter.
🚨 Don't max SUSPICION
The red bar climbs each turn. If it hits 100 the human wakes, the alarm trips, and the op is scrubbed.
Your turn
- You get a hand of 5 cards and 3 Stamina (the gold pips). Each card costs Stamina (the number in its corner).
- The threats up top show their INTENT — exactly how much Suspicion they'll add when the turn ends. No surprises; plan around it.
- Click a card to play it. Some ask you to pick a target — then click a threat.
- Out of good plays? Hit END TURN: threats resolve, Suspicion rises (minus your shield), you draw a fresh hand, Stamina refills.
The four card types
STEALTHBuild a shield that soaks up Suspicion at end of turn. Your defense.
TAKEDOWNPush LOOT forward and cut a threat's intent.
POSITIONNegate a threat's next intent entirely. Use on the big hit.
CHAOSOreo's cards: huge payoff, real risk. Chaos tokens quietly add Suspicion until cleansed.
The run
Cold open → a guided tutorial caper (Rusty tells you what to play) → plan your route (a Backyard skirmish for a stronger deck, or a rest site for a safer Vault) → THE VAULT (Kevin the Cat mounts the Roomba on turn 3 — his intent doubles) → the After-Action Report → your Cheese Rating (S/A/B/C) and unlocks. Run again with what you earn.
Tip: Read the telegraphed intent before ending your turn. Shield or negate the big hit, then dump LOOT once you're covered. 🐾
