Cattitude is a board game released in 2023 for 2–5 players, 20–40 minutes per game, and ages 8 and up. It was designed by Robert Brouwer and Douwe Terluin and its main mechanics are Set Collection, Matching, and Betting and Bluffing.
In the Cattorian era, the members of the cat elite like to show off their sophistication by collecting birds without eating them. Have your noble cats collect as many birds as possible, but beware of cats that can’t control their instincts: the birdoholics. Score the most points with your palace to win this tactical bluffing game! Cattitude is a 2 to 5 player card game about bluffing and set collection. Players receive cards with birds in their hand and they try to match as many cards with the same bird with each other and one noble cat. Each turn players give cards to their neighbours through a bluffing give and receive system. Giving away the best cards without giving too much and not reveiling what you want to keep yourself is the key to winning the game. The game ends when the stack of cards is empty. The player with the most birds wins the game. —description from the publisher
Cattitude supports 2–5 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 Cattitude is 20–40 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 Cattitude for ages 8 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.
Cattitude has a complexity rating of 2.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
