About the game

What you do in a play session

Take Cat is that quick and fun game where you collect cats... by stealing them from others! On your turn, draw a card and try to match it to form a pair of kitties - or play it over an opponent's card to shamelessly steal it. The first to gather 5 cats wins, but get ready for lots of betrayal and protesting meows. With super simple rules and 15-45 minute matches, it's perfect for family game nights or with friends (as long as no one takes the betrayals personally!). The feline theme and cute artwork keep things light, even when you're losing your cats to the smartest player at the table.

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

5 questions
What's the minimum age?
The game is suitable for kids aged 6+, but even adults enjoy its simplicity and interaction.
Do I need to know English?
Nope! The cards use icons and numbers, so it's fully playable without English knowledge.
Does it work with 3 players?
Yes, it plays well with 3 to 8 players. With fewer people it's more strategic; with more, it becomes a fun mess.
How big is the box?
It's a compact game, about the size of a standard deck of cards. Easy to take on trips or gatherings.
How long does a game last?
Between 15 to 45 minutes, depending on player count and how much betrayal happens along the way!
