Object
Defeat General Barken-Schniffer's top card [illegible] game.
Set Up
Each player chooses 1 of [4?] Laser Cats, displaying normal side up.
Assemble General Barken-Schniffer, then shuffle both decks and lay face-down.
Each player draws [5?] cards (not Dog Bite), and discards any "Play Immediately" card that initially shows up (do not replace with new ones).
Gameplay
Any rule is trumped if a card says otherwise.
Clockwise turn order.
Start each turn by drawing 1 card. Max. [5?] cards in hand by the end of your turn.
You may play/discard as many cards as you wish, but only on your turn.
Good cards (yellow background) are purchased by discarding Monies from your hand. Purchased Good cards are placed next to your cat.
Bad cards (black background) go into effect when drawn.
If a deck runs out, re-shuffle the discard pile.
Attack the General by purchasing Plutonium. Once purchased, flip your cat card over (to Laser Mode™), and roll the die once.
- If you roll a hit, flip the General's card over.
- If you roll a miss, take a Dog Bite card.
You have 9 lives. If your Dog Bite total reaches 9, you're out.
Cards Explained
- Monies: no change is given for an over-paid amount.
- Plutonium: use for one attack, then discard.
- $1 Food: each of these cards increases your max hand size by 1.
- $2 Food: each of these cards increases the number of cards drawn by 1.

Transcription Notes
- The photograph is low-resolution. Bracketed items are illegible or uncertain: the Object line is partly covered by the dog silhouette in the photo; the number of Laser Cats to choose from, the number of cards drawn in set up, and the maximum hand size are printed in small type and are read here as best as possible with a question mark; the "$" symbol on the Catnip Die yarn face is uncertain.
- The roll thresholds ("Roll to defeat") printed on the front of the boss card are not part of the rules text on the back and are not transcribed here.
- The rules text at the top of the back panel (title and contents line) is not transcribed; the contents line is illegible in the photograph.
