About the game
A head to head 2 player game to attract the most cats to play with you by utilizing your cat toys the most effectively. Players will have a selection of various cats each round to battle over with matching hands of 6 classic cat toys. Each unique cat requires certain toys in a specific order for them to be attracted to play. But be aware that your opponent can thwart your plans to attract cats by removing your toys before you get to use them. Do you go all out trying to attract higher point scoring cats or do you go for a cheaper one allowing you to play defense? Winning this game depends on how well you can read your opponent and recognize patterns that will be constantly changing. Think Rock-Paper-Scissors meets Chess. —description from the designer
