About the game
A fun new card game for the family from the creators of Unstable Unicorns! Collect as many Cats as you can find in the pet store to win Fluffy cats, floppy cats, silly cats, scruffy cats... There are all kinds of kitties romping around this pet store, and it's your job to gather 'em up! Keep your eyes peeled for Scrappy strays scrounging for handouts and cunning cat burglars looking to snatch up your favorite felines. If you're not careful, your kitty collection could turn into a full-blown catastrophe! —description from the publisher Players draw from a deck of cute numbered cat cards and try to build piles of cats starting with number 1 cats, adding on cats with the next highest number up to 5. Other players can Steal cats as they're being played with Steal cards, or play number 0 Stray Cat cards to your stack to make you start over from 1 (and get another turn for themselves), which can be defended with Scram cards. —user summary

Questions and answers
Scram supports 2–6 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 Scram is 15–30 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 Scram 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.
Scram has a complexity rating of 1.3 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.
