About the game

What you do in a play session

In the mysterious city of Ulthar, cats are sacred — and now you must care for them! In this quick and adorable game, 1 to 4 players compete to satisfy the needs of the most demanding felines in the Lovecraftian universe. Each kitten has specific desires: food, water, fun, or a nap. Your goal is to complete two of these tasks before others, scoring points by playing matching cards. But beware: you can only assist each need once per round, so plan your moves carefully (with a dash of luck). With simple set collection mechanics and a push-your-luck twist, it's perfect for families or casual game nights. Don’t be fooled by the child-friendly theme — even masters of chaos can enjoy pleasing these cosmic cats!
