About the game
Get ready for a feline competition in Gattara: The Cat Magnet, a fast-paced and vibrant card game for 2 to 6 players! Here, the goal is to be the top collector of cat tokens, but don't think it will be easy. You'll need strategy and a good dose of cunning to outwit your opponents, using cards with effects that can turn the game upside down.

Each turn, players start by drawing up to three cards and must play one. Each player's score is kept secret behind a screen, which adds a delightful tension and keeps everyone on their toes. The game features three types of cards for you to explore:

* **Green Cards:** These are your allies for accumulating more cat tokens.
* **Red Cards:** Perfect for disrupting others' plans, making your opponents lose tokens.
* **Yellow Cards:** These are the wild cards, capable of manipulating the flow of the game, changing turn order or forcing specific actions.

But the icing on the cake is the "Meow" reaction system! If you are targeted by a card, you can immediately respond with a Meow card, canceling the original effect and, as a bonus, doubling the impact on a new target. It's a twist that guarantees lots of laughs and unexpected moments. The first player to reach the target score (which varies depending on the number of players) shouts "GATTARA!" and claims victory! Ideal for those looking for a light, interactive game with plenty of "take that" to liven up the crowd.
