What's in the box

  • Cards stack on a wobbly ball of yarn held by the cat unit
  • Challenge cards call for index fingers only or the non-dominant hand
  • Throw and Scratch cards let players sabotage opponents
  • Cat-shaped game unit doubles as a storage case
  • For 3 to 6 players, ages 8 and up, about 15 minutes

How it plays

Empty your pile first to win.On your turn you lay a card on the cat's tipsy yarn ball, and some cards add rules: place it using only your index fingers, or with your weaker hand. Knock cards off and they go into your hand. A Throw card is tossed at the stack to topple it onto rivals, and a Scratch card is passed to an opponent to place.

From the makers of Jenga, this one is learned in minutes and done in about fifteen. We suggest it as an icebreaker for three to six players, kids of eight and up included. Everything stores inside the cat-shaped unit, so it travels well.
