Description

You’re a cat now! And as any self-respecting cat, your way of life is to make as much mischief as possible. But beware : don't get caught by a Hooman or you’ll be grounded! Try to blame another cat instead!

How to play?

Each player plays his turn, starting by the first player. You can make 3 different moves:

1. Play a hidden card in front of you
2. Play a hidden card in front of another player
3. Draw one to two cards from the deck

When everybody has made a move, all players reveal the cards and effects are applied on the shared mischief stair. Then check who got caught!

In the game, there are 3 kinds of cards:

• Mischief: Increase the Hooman owner awareness and anger
• Purring: lower the Hooman owner awareness and anger
• Sneaky: Increase the Hooman owner awareness and anger but change the tide of a turn!

The game ends when a cat was very bad and grounded 20 times or when the deck is empty. The less grounded cat wins the game!

Cat’astrophes is a family card game for 2 to 6 players. 
Recommended starting age is 7+. Play session lasts about 15 minutes on average. Both core board gamers and casual players can enjoy the game due to the guessing mechanic and the possibility to use strategies!
