About the game
You’ve finally made it to the Cult of Cat’s initiation ceremony. Now all you need to do is complete the initiation ritual without breaking any of the secret rules. How hard can it be? To win, simply play a card from your hand while following all rules held by other players. At the start of the game, you don’t know many of the rules are in the game, so you’ll break one each turn. As more rules are revealed, it’s up to you to remember and follow them all... Each card will have an animal with a rule specifying an action to be taken. Actions can be verbal or physical, and each rule is unique. —description from the designer

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 Meow! The Cult of Cat is 15–20 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 Meow! The Cult of Cat 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.
Meow! The Cult of Cat has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game.
