About the game
What you do in a play session
Get ready for an electrifying feline showdown in Catnaipe, a two-player trick-taking game that will keep you glued to your seat! The premise is simple: a neighborhood stray cat, after sniffing some questionable catnip, is more agitated than ever, jumping around and breaking rooftops. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to send this kitty to your opponent's house before it invades yours. Each game is an emotional rollercoaster, with twists and turns that will make you question your tactics every round. There are six rounds per trick, and each suit represents an object being thrown to distract the feline. Whoever wins the round moves the cat away from their home. The game features six different types of cats, adding an extra layer of variation and replayability. The AI-generated art of the first edition is a sight to behold, and for those concerned about animal welfare, rest assured: no animals were harmed during development! Catnaipe is perfect for those who enjoy fast-paced, strategic card games with a fun and unusual theme. If you like trick-taking games with a touch of unpredictability and a dash of humor, you'll love this cat battle.
