About the game
What you do in a play session
Kittys is a lighthearted card game that puts you in the shoes of a hungry cat hunting for the best feeding spot. Instead of battling for food, players compete to win tricks with cards numbered 1 to 12, where the lowest value card wins the round. Each game starts with one card dealt to each player, and the goal is to collect score chips—1, 2, or –1—that represent how much food each cat can bring home. The boss cat (or “Bosneko”) runs the table and takes all the cards played, but if a player plays a card with the same number they received, only the “children” (the other players) score, while the boss gets no points that round. The game is easy to learn: just play one card at a time and try to be the lowest possible. The core components are 12 colorful cards, a boss marker, score chips, and player tokens to track each cat’s position. In 5‑to‑30‑minute sessions, the pace stays brisk and full of tense, laugh‑inducing moments. Ideal for 3‑to‑6 players, Kittys functions as a social puzzle that blends simple strategy, luck, and plenty of feline fun.
The frenetic rhythm makes it perfect for casual game nights, but the trick‑taking mechanic offers enough depth for those who like to plan their moves. The negative scoring adds a risk element, as a bad play can cost points. While simple, the cat theme and bright aesthetic give it a special charm that appeals to both kids and adults. If you’re looking for something quick, with few rules and a lot of laughs, Kittys is a sure‑fire pick to get the table moving and keep everyone giggling while trying to avoid the most demanding boss in town.
In short, Kittys marries the simplicity of a card game with the fun of a hungry cat showdown, delivering a short, addictive experience that fits neatly into any group of friends or family.
