About the game
We're going on vacation for a few days, and our lovely neighbors have offered to look after our cat. What we haven't mentioned is that our cat has specific eating habits, preferring only a certain type of food and a particular place to eat, but I'm sure they'll manage just fine... DeliCats is a cooperative logic and deduction game designed for cat enthusiasts. Each player takes on the role of a neighbor tasked with feeding their neighbor's cats without prior knowledge of their culinary preferences. Throughout each round, players will feed other cats, attempting to discern their favorite food or preferred eating spot. By the game's end, players will present food to all the neighbors' cats, aiming to match their individual preferences. The success or failure of the game hinges on your deduction skills. You'll find a calendar of missions ordered from easiest to most difficult, with variations from the standard 'A Quiet Weekend' mission. —description from the designer
