## Description
Get your heart ready (and your hands steady!), because Cat and the Tower is the perfect blend of extreme cuteness and nerve-wracking tension. The story is a tear-jerker: Toto, a little black cat, wants to reunite with his mother, who has become a star in the sky. To achieve this, he and his feline friends must climb a tower that, let's be honest, looks anything but stable. The goal is simple, but the execution is where the real challenge lies: you must build the tower together, stacking walls of varying heights while guiding Toto to the top.

Gameplay revolves around multi-use cards. Each turn, you decide whether to use your card to raise the tower or to perform dexterity challenges that help Toto climb higher. The catch? The luck of the draw might force you to place pieces that throw everything off balance, turning the tower into an architectural nightmare. And don't be fooled: Toto's feline friends are great for rebalancing the structure, but they can also end up in inconvenient spots, blocking the way for new floors.

The game starts easy, but from the fifth floor onwards, gravity becomes your worst enemy. It's the kind of experience where a single sneeze could ruin all the group's progress. It is a cooperative game where communication and precision are key, ideal for cat lovers and those who enjoy the adrenaline rush of seeing a tower wobble while trying to place the final piece.

If you can get Toto to the tenth floor, you clear the first stage and unlock more of the story. However, to reach the stars, the challenge scales to heights that seem almost impossible. It's a heartwarming yet stressful journey where you'll give everything to help Toto complete his adventure.

## FAQ
### Is the game hard to learn?
Not at all! The rules are very simple and the game flows quickly, making it ideal for those who dislike long rulebooks.

### Can I play it solo?
Yes, the game includes a solo mode, allowing you to guide Toto to the top on your own.

### Is it suitable for children?
Yes, since it's a cooperative dexterity game, it's great for kids, though it requires patience and coordination.

### How long does a game take?
Usually between 15 to 30 minutes, depending on how stable (or crooked) the tower becomes.

### Is there a language barrier?
Very little. There is minimal text that is easy to memorize, so language is hardly an issue.

### What happens if the tower falls?
That's the most tense moment! A collapse usually means the challenge was failed and you'll need to start the climb over.
