The Ghost of Schroedinger's Cat

Put a cat in an opaque box with a poison capsule. Rig the capsule so that it will break if one specific radioactive atom decays. Until you look in the box, the cat is both alive and dead.

It's statements like that which make people think that science and voodoo are the same thing.

You play lab rats at an institution where someone is actually running the Schroedinger's cat experiment. Is the cat alive or dead? If it's dead then you might have a ghost cat running loose which might be worse than a live cat running loose.

Players build the lab by laying out cards to make a board as the rats explore the facilities looking for the lab where the dread experiment is taking place. But these are intelligent rats - they have a plan to deal with the ghost or the live cat, whichever it turns out to be. Are they prepared with the proper plan when they open the box? That is for them to decide as they search.

Incomplete Game
This game has been cheap-assed? What does that mean? Cheap Ass Games was a company that made games but only sold the pieces unique to that game. The philosophy was, "Why pay extra for dice when you have 10 other games at home with the same dice you need to play this one?"
In this case you will need four items for the players to use as pawns. Coins, lug nuts, bottle caps - or you can buy them from GameCrafter for a good price. Whatever works for you. The pawns are cheap enough, the extra cost for packaging the pawns with the cards included in this game is comparatively ridiculous.
