About the game
Ever experienced that moment of pure tension when you're trying to get your cat into a carrier for a vet visit? Well, Hissy Fit turns that domestic chaos into a fast-paced, hilarious cooperative card game! You and your partners step into the shoes of desperate humans trying to coax a feline into its travel box. But don't expect it to be easy: cats are absolute masters at ignoring plans and creating drama out of thin air.

To win, your group needs impeccable coordination. You'll use Human Cards to execute strategies, offer delicious treats, or create distractions to guide the cat along the correct path. The key lies in building smart combos and managing your hand effectively so the journey to the carrier is completed before time runs out. It's a game of planning and improvisation, where every decision matters to prevent total disaster.

On the flip side, the cat has a mind of its own! Every turn, Cat Cards come into play to wreck your plans. The kitty might decide to bolt away, hide in an impossible spot, deliver a sharp scratch, or, even worse, have a full-blown 'Hissy Fit.' If the cat has three major tantrums or if you suffer five scratches, the game is over and the cat wins the battle. It's a race against the clock and against your pet's temperament!

With a quick playtime of around 20 minutes, Hissy Fit is perfect for those looking for a light card game that still offers a layer of strategy and high relatability for cat owners. It's the kind of experience that leads to great laughs (and maybe some minor trauma for anyone who has lived through it). Get your treats ready, organize your cards, and good luck trying to tame the chaos!
