ㅤㅤThe Golden Rule: If you don't have an ornament

ㅤㅤon the tree, you must begin your turn by placing

ㅤㅤone of your color ornaments on the tree.

╚═════════════════════════════════╝

Ornaments are the Naughty new way to win (or lose) a game of boop.

Each player begins the game with 3 ornaments of their color. You will always have one - and only one - ornament of your color on the tree at a time. Therefore, per the Golden Rule above, if at the start of your turn you do not have an ornament on the tree, you must place one - including your very first play of the game!

Ornaments must be placed on the Decorating tier (tier 2) in any unoccupied space. (The hoomans are placing them high to keep them out of paw's reach. Ha! Silly hoomans.) On the rare occasion that the Decorating tier has no open spaces, place your ornament on any open space on the next tier down.

After placing an ornament, the player then plays a Kitten or Cat as normal to complete their turn.

When placing an ornament, it must enter play in one of the 8 spaces on the 2nd tier.

Note that Ornaments do not Boop other pieces around when placed on the tree. Only Cats and Kittens can Boop!

Ornaments may be booped by both Kittens and Cats, either into an empty space on the same tier or to a tier below. However, an ornament may not be booped from a lower tier to a higher tier. It simply remains in place.

(Therefore, there is no way for an ornament to occupy the top tier.)

Ornaments cannot be Booped up a tier. But can be booped along the same tier or down a tier. Or even right off the tree.
