The Cats of New Orleans

Step back into 1868 with "The Cats of New Orleans," a time when the Crescent City was seeking peace after the Civil War. But beneath the surface, discontent among the city's vermin is brewing like a pot of crawfish ready to boil over! This is a miniatures-driven solo or cooperative campaign game set in a turbulent period. You'll lead a band of feline heroes through a series of linked scenarios that form an ongoing story, where choices made in one scenario directly impact the next. The game is played directly on the spiral-bound scenario book, utilizing 12-sided dice for combat and collecting cards for loot, skills, and powers. As you progress, your heroes will uncover the forces behind the city's troubles and work to thwart their wicked ambitions, battling swarms of mosquitos, rats, snakes, and other foul creatures. Gaining loot and experience allows your heroes to unlock new skills, preparing them for increasingly tougher foes. "The Cats of New Orleans" is a game that unfolds over several sessions, but saving your progress between scenarios is straightforward. The rulebook serves as a guided tutorial, walking you through the first three scenarios to teach setup, hero movement, searching for loot, and managing enemy forces, starting with the pesky mosquitos. After mastering these initial scenarios, the campaign often presents branching paths, allowing you to choose your next scenario and altering the course of events, encouraging replays to explore different outcomes.
