The game requires a 6×6 square grid game board. Additionally, 8 small cat figures and 8 large cat figures are needed in two different colours – these can be made as tile-like pieces, slightly smaller than the squares on the board. The figures can be either drawn or photographic cats, even using the children’s favourite pets – this adds a more personal experience and increases engagement.

If the game is played as a live board game (e.g., in the schoolyard), the students themselves represent the cats. In this case, it is recommended to use headbands or markers in two different colours, to which the cat figures can be attached, so that everyone can clearly see who is playing which role (small cat or large cat). The game board can be created by drawing on a carpet, chalking it on asphalt, or arranging gym equipment, depending on the available space and materials.
