About the game

What you do in a play session

Chabyrinthe is a quick, light, and fun game where you help cats (so many cats!) find their way home — or rather, to that sweet, sweet cat condo. The board is a 4x4 grid of cards you rotate mid-turn, creating new pathways on the fly. Each round, you do two things: flip one card (to line up a path), then either draw a new card or flip another. If, at the end of your turn, a cat has a clear path to a house, you claim it! Each kitty has different point values, so cuteness isn’t always king — strategy matters. The game wraps up in ~15 minutes, is dead easy to learn (great for travel or quick sessions), and supports 1–4 players. No heavy reading needed, making it friendly for kids and casual gamers, while still offering enough spatial thinking to feel satisfying. Think of it as a puzzle in motion — except with cats racing for the finish line.
