About the game
Kittys is an easy-to-play card game. Players will be cats and cats will meet with cats. I am aiming for a better feed station that I can have in a good food, but it is hard if I try to go to a better feed station than Bosneko. Let's find a good food so as not to be disturbed by Bosnaeko. set content 12 color cards × 6 players Boss marker Six points chip (1 point, 2 point, -1 point) 6 pieces each Score list We will deal 1 to 12 cards to all players. The player substitutes "Bosneko" instead. Players will release one card at a time, but only cards with smaller numbers than the cards issued by their parents will score. Bosneko players score all cards they give out, but if they are cards with the same number as the cards they got, only their children score and they can not score. "At a cat meeting I can not go to a better feed station than a boss. However, if the child's cat wants to go to the same feeding station as the boss, the mother-boss cat will give the bait to the child. "

Questions and answers
Kittys supports 3–6 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 Kittys is 5–30 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 Kittys 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.
Kittys has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a 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.
