About the game
Whack a Catgirl is a card game with a simple concept. Neko-chan, the catgirl, is cute! Therefore she must be pelted with various objects. Plushies, buckets of water, other fangirls, you name it! You choose cards through a simple continuous draft mechanic to build an arsenal of items. Items are used both to throw at the catgirl (to score points!) and to use as bait to lure her over. Players go through the entire deck of cards once, and whoever has the most points at the end is the Champion of Everything. And you want that. All cards feature humorous flavor text, and anime-style art. Each copy of Whack a Catgirl also comes with a 2-card mini expansion for Gold Thief (2 copies of the new Pirate card).
