Fish & Katz

A simultaneous set-collection game has kitten chefs point cloth paws at fish cards and claim only uncontested choices. Matching a rival’s target leaves everyone empty-handed, so reading opponents matters in the race to six points.

Welcome to the most famous fish market in the cat's world, Tsukiji Market! You and your fellow kitten chefs are competing to get the freshest fish for your restaurant. The competition is so intense that you can't get what you want without stretching your paws all the way to the most delicious fish at a lightning speed. So spot on the fish, raise your paws, and grab them for the win! Fish & Katz, first released as Cat's Tsukiji, is a speed game like no other because you will put on the cutest game component in the world — the cloth cat paws! You can choose the finger cloth of your favorite cat pattern, how cute is that! Each round, a number of fish cards will be displayed on the table. On the count of three, all players simultaneously point their "paws" at the fish card they want. If you are the sole player to point at a card, you get it for a set-collection scoring. However, if any other player(s) point at the same card as you do, none of you get the fish! The first player to score 6 points wins!
