   Fantastic game! I’ve done it at party’s one on one and friends who don’t play board games takes 5 minutes to learn and let the chaos in sue. It’s like Mario party had consensual relationships with Yahtzee and uno.

   First off, the overall art and components for this game are top notch. Nice cardboard, nice cards, nice box and insert, even linen-finish paper for the rules – great production. The art is bright and colorful and the theme is super fun with cat references everywhere. The gameplay is silly and fun, but very attacky – you will regularly be trying to hit opponents to lose their 9 lives. If you enjoy games like Exploding Kittens, Munchkin, Unstable Unicorns, etc., this should be right up your alley. This is basically a race to eliminate all other players and be the last standing. The player with the most life tends to get targeted, so towards then end everyone is likely pretty close and who wins could come down to a few lucky die rolls or card draws, but there certainly are ways to plan ahead and decide when to use your cards and yarn most effectively so it’s not complete luck. Since players can play as many cards as they want on their turn, it can take awhile to come back around to you so the pace is a bit slow, but you’re often doing stuff on other players turns or during the events so it’s not too painful. The end-of-turn events are a fun way to keep all players engaged, although some will ask players to do some silly stuff so make sure you play this with folks who aren’t too serious. There are a lot of cards to read and learn, but once you go through a few rounds you get used to the few types fairly quickly. Overall, it’s a very well produced game and good for crowds who want something silly and attacky. I tend to skew towards more serious strategy games so it’s not the most ideal fit for me personally, but it was fun to try and I know some groups this would work very well with.

   I recently got Catasthrophe, and it has quickly become a favorite in my game nights! The concept is hilarious—cats causing absolute chaos while trying to outmaneuver each other. The game mechanics are easy to learn but offer enough strategy to keep things interesting.

   The artwork is adorable, the components are high quality, and the gameplay is engaging for both casual and experienced players. It strikes a great balance between fun and competition, with plenty of laugh-out-loud moments.

   If you love cats, strategy, and a bit of mayhem, this game is a must-have. Highly recommend!

   Game is fun as heck! A luck based game, but the rules are the perfect level of complexity for game night with family.

   Learning how to play it was super easy, the manual is very well written and easy to follow. And if you don’t want to read it, you can watch a 5 min video that’s very well explained. I got it for a work activity and all my peers had a great laugh. The art is very funny and the cards are simple so you don’t get confused

   Easy to learn! Played with a few friends and we all caught on super quick!! Lots of twists and turns (and ways to turn against your friends lol). Bonus is that Lil Bub (character) looks like our very own Bubba (real life cat child). Very fun game and a gem to have found on boardgamesweekly.com!!

   This game works for everyone! It is so fun, and has a little bit of everything. The art is amazing, the components are fantastic quality, and you can tell that a lot of thought went into gameplay.

   There are agonizing moments, twists and turns, and lots of laughs. We were intimidated at first, but the game is so easy to understand that our eight year old beats us more often than not.

   It is challenging enough for adults, and exciting for kids. We highly recommend this game!
