In Cat Jack, the goal is to win the friendship of the black cat. This game offers a cute and clever twist on the classic push-your-luck mechanics of Blackjack. Will you be the one to earn the cat's favor? The challenge is to get as close as possible to the cat's number without going over. But beware: the cat has a hidden card that adjusts its value! Each turn, you choose to PLAY or PASS. If you play, you draw the top card of the deck and play a card from your hand in front of you. If you pass, you're out of the round and keep the sum of the cards you've played. When everyone passes, the hidden card is revealed, and the player closest to the cat's value wins! It's a simple variation of Blackjack, but with a strategic twist: you always have information about the cards in other players' hands, the top card of the deck, and the cat's value, thanks to the hints on the back of the cards!
