## Description
In Cat Tower, the hungriest felines in the neighborhood band together to snatch a dried fish hanging high on a shelf. Each player draws seven cat cards, representing the kitties they’ll stack. Play starts with the person holding the most cards and proceeds clockwise. On a turn, the player rolls a giant die; each face shows an action – such as placing a cat on the tower, removing one, or swapping cards. The goal is straightforward: be the first to discard all cat cards from your hand while building and balancing the tower at the same time. The game blends dice rolling, physical dexterity for placing pieces, and the challenge of keeping the stack stable. In under 20 minutes, the round moves quickly, filled with giggles and occasional sighs when the tower threatens to topple. The artwork is full of cute cats and bright colours, appealing to both kids and adults who enjoy light games. Though the rules are simple, the need to balance the tower adds a tension that prevents the game from feeling flat. It’s ideal for family gatherings, birthday parties, or quick sessions between friends, supporting 2‑6 players. No lengthy rulebook is required – just open the box, deal the cards, and roll the die. If the tower falls, the player who caused it loses their turn, but play continues until someone empties their hand. In short, Cat Tower offers feline fun, speed, and a dash of physical skill, all in a compact, affordable package.
