The Cat in the Sack is a very simple dexterity game. It consists of a large plastic base in the shape of a blue sack. Inside the sack is a large white cover for the sack on which is mounted a large plastic cat head. The cover is mounted to the sack with a large spring (reminiscent of a jack-in-the-box). Along the edge of the "sack" are 25 clips that hold the cover in place. To play the game, you push the spring loaded cover down into place, securing it in place with the clips. The game begins and each player takes a turn removing one of the clips, trying not to let the cat out of the sack. The player who removes a clip and causes the cat to spring out of the sack, loses the game.
