Catte is a board game released in 2025 for 3–4 players, 20–30 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by LEO (レオ) and its main mechanics are Trick-taking.
This is Catte, a cafe where pretty cats work. They serve incredibly delicious coffee, so be careful not to order too much. It's a must-follow trick-taking game where you aim to collect cards without exceeding your limit. The Japanese listing explains further: Gameplay Must-follow trick-taking with three card colors (black, white, brown) and sets combining to form other colors. Each trick awards a coffee card for points. Exceeding a set score limit (“burst”) ends the round with no points for the bursting player. Changes to trick rules come from special cards that can alter whether you must follow, must not follow, etc.
Catte supports 3–4 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Catte is 20–30 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Catte for ages 10 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
