The Cat!

capricious cats in sets

 

Capricious cats in varying moods, for cuddling! Cats in this game can be in 13 different moods, and there are four cards for each of the individual moods. All cards are shuffled face down and then split into stacks of four cards each; every player receives - depending on the number of players - three or four such stacks. The cards in the one remaining stack are displayed openly in a row.

All play simultaneously: You take one of your own stacks and check if you can use one of the cards on display to collect four identical cards in the stack in your hand. If yes, you place a card from your hand into the middle and pick up one card from the display. If not, you simply pick up your next stack. This can be repeated any number of times with any of your own stacks, but you can have always only one stack in hand, and after a swap there must be four cards in each stack and on the table. Whoever touches a card in the display first, is entitled to take it.

If you have achieved four identical cards in each stack, you call Stop. If several players call Stop, the quickest ones succeeds. The player who called stop then reveals all his stacks - if there are four identical cards in each stack, he scores one point per stack + 1 bonus point. But! If only one card is wrong, you do not score at all! All other players score one point for each of their stacks with four identical cards.

When at the end of a round at least one player has collected 20 points or more, you win with most points.

A fun game with a familiar mechanism and a cute topic, a nice filler game or a game to introduce people to playing games.
