The board is a large cat head, with the nose, teeth, and mouth as targets. Each player controls a magnetic paw that shoots colored balls toward the opponent. The idea is simple: hit the nose or teeth to knock down the cat’s face balls while sending your own balls across the board. When all balls of a color—whether the single black, the three white, or the eight yellow—cross the finish line, the round ends and the other player scores a point. The game is ultra‑fast, with rounds of about ten minutes, and demands almost instant reflexes, much like air hockey but with a cat theme and an extra magnetic twist. The setup is simple: a game box that doubles as the arena, magnetic pieces, colored balls, and the cat head. Though it looks like a children’s toy, the competition level is high and the learning curve is shallow, making it ideal for anyone looking for instant fun, whether at home, at a bar table, or at a tabletop event. The game’s lightness and surprise factor—balls may ricochet in unexpected ways—ensure each match is unique and keep players on their toes. If you enjoy quick‑reaction challenges and a feline touch of humor, A Game of Cat & Mouth will surprise you with its frenetic pace and engaging simplicity. ## FAQ ### How long does a game last?
