## Description
Cat Tree: Time to Climb! is a light strategy game that delivers quick fun in 20 to 40 minutes, ideal for 2 to 4 players who don't want to spend hours at the table. The goal is simple: build a shared cat tree using construction cards, then get your felines to the highest perches while trying to knock arte opponents down with paw tokens. Each player gets movement points that determine how many spaces they can travel per turn, and cat pieces are placed on tiles that form the tree’s structure. The tile‑placement mechanic ensures that every choice of where to put the next cat or tile directly affects access to the higher perches. At the end, only cats on perches score, and the higher the perch, the more valuable the cat. The game blends the lightness of a card game with movement and construction strategy, creating blades of friendly, tense competition. It’s perfect for those who enjoy animal-themed games, simple movement mechanics, and a dash of playful sabotage. If you’re looking for something that doesn’t require deep planning but still delivers tension when blocking opponents, Cat Tree is a solid pick for 20‑40 minute sessions with friends or family.
