Cat Trick

Winning tricks is not enough

Kittens are fighting over the best toys. The game takes the shape of a trick-taking game, with a trump colour and cards of different values, then turns the usual logic on its head.

What counts is not how many tricks you win but the collection you build. You need all five toy colours, and above all you must avoid hoarding one kind: past three, you hand them out to your opponents.

The Coup de patte cards bring the swings, and whoever takes three Super Cat cards wins. The whole skill lies in knowing when to stop.
