Welcome to Cats, a game for 2 to 5 players of 30 minutes duration where you are a cat trying to achieve kitty happiness. But beware, "The human who live here" and other cats can make things difficult for you. Get ready to run, meow, scratch, eat and sleep. In Cats, you try to be happy by catching the Objective Tokens that appear over the board. Each turn you'll try to move over a Token, fight with other cats if they want the same token too, and will try to evade the human if they catche you doing something bad. All the actions are performed with a small 6-card deck which the players must manage thru the game. After 5 rounds, players add-up the Happiness Points of their Objective Tokens to find the winner. -description from designer
