If It Fits

A card-laying area game has players create cat boxes with toys while avoiding penalty spaces and claiming the most points. Connected boxes can be taken over, but sealing one protects it and doubles its value until a roaming cat intervenes.

How it plays

How does it play?

Cats have a special draw for people, but they are themselves always drawn to empty boxes and always fit in seemingly too small boxes. The internet is therefore full of ‘if it fits, it sits’ images.

Cats have a special draw for people, but they are themselves always drawn to empty boxes and always fit in seemingly too small boxes. The internet is therefore full of ‘if it fits, it sits’ images. In If It Fits players will be playing cards from their hands to create boxes for cats to sit in. Players will aim to create boxes with cat toys in them, while avoiding water sprayers. Having cat toys in your boxes will earn you points whereas water sprayers will result in penalties. By connecting boxes, players are able to take over boxes of other players unless players seal off all sides of their boxes. Sealing off boxes has the added benefit of doubling earned points in that box. However to complicate matters, a players’ cat (which claims a box) can be chased off by the black cat in the game: Princess. The moment a player has used all their cats or if the draw deck is depleted, the game ends. The score is determined and the player with the highest score wins.
