Here, Kitty, Kitty!

Have you ever wondered what the Cold War would look like if, instead of spies, the goal was to lure as many cute cats as possible into your backyard? In Here, Kitty, Kitty!, that is exactly what happens. The neighborhood is crawling with adorable kittens and, let's be honest, they deserve a home—preferably yours! But don't be fooled by the cuteness of the miniatures: your neighbors are just as obsessed as you are and won't hesitate to snatch that cat you just lured onto your porch.

The game features a simple yet chaotic dynamic. Each player has an individual board divided into three zones: the Yard, the Porch, and the House. The key is that the further into your house a cat is, the more points it's worth at the end of the game. Cats in the yard don't score directly, but they serve as a transition zone and are essential for meeting majority scoring conditions. On your turn, you have two actions to spend: moving a kitten between zones, playing cards from your hand, or discarding to refresh your options. This is where the fun starts: cards allow you to move multiple cats at once, steal a feline from a neighbor, or defend your territory against incoming 'cat-napping' attempts.

The experience is light, fast, and hilarious, especially when someone plays an 'Instant' card that changes the course of the entire round. It's the kind of game that doesn't take itself too seriously, perfect for gathering friends who enjoy direct interaction and want a good laugh. The final scoring is always a surprise, as the position of the cats can shift drastically in the final turns. If you enjoy set collection games with a pinch of 'take-that' mechanics, Here, Kitty, Kitty! will become a staple of your game nights. Get your treats ready, sharpen your claws, and try to be the ultimate cat collector in the neighborhood!
