Cat & Chocolate: Blooming Days is a card game which follows the other games in the Cat & Chocolate series, only this time the theme centers on Japanese school life. Players are divided into two secret teams, with each player taking turns drawing an event card and describing how they manage to escape the situation using 1-3 item cards in their hand. All players then vote "Safe" or "Out", and if a majority votes in favor of the player's story he or she scores a point. At the end of the game teams are revealed, and the highest scoring team wins.
