Step into a whirlwind of whiskers and purrs with Way Too Many Cats, a delightful drafting and spatial puzzle game that turns the chaos of a cat adoption center into a strategic, engaging tabletop experience. Designed for 1 to 6 players and suitable for ages 8 and up, this game perfectly blends the cuteness of cats with the thinky challenge of set collection and spatial arrangement.
In Way Too Many Cats, each player assumes the role of a manager at a bustling feline adoption agency, tasked with the adorable yet daunting challenge of housing cats and kittens. Your mission is to make these charming creatures as happy as possible to boost their chances of adoption. Each cat comes with specific whims and preferences, requiring players to think strategically about how they place each cat within the adoption center to maximize happiness and adoption rates.
The game is played on a player board representing different areas of the adoption center, where you must strategically place cats and kittens to form pleasing arrangements. You'll draft cards that represent various cats, each with unique requirements and benefits. Some cats prefer to be surrounded by toys, while others thrive when placed next to cats of a similar type or certain features.
Way Too Many Cats features:
- 330 Cat Cards: Each beautifully illustrated to represent a wide variety of quirky and lovable cats.
- **Strategic Gameplay**: Balancing the cats' needs while avoiding getting overwhelmed by the ever-growing number of kittens.
- Player Interaction: Compete to attract the happiest, most adoptable cats to your section of the shelter, sometimes thwarting others' plans in the process.
Each round, players will choose from a selection of cat cards drawn from Cat Alley, deciding the best place for them on their board to form groups of cats that meet certain criteria for bonuses. Manage your resources carefully as you balance making adult cats happy and not getting overrun by kittens.
Perfect for family game nights, Way Too Many Cats not only provides a fun and interactive challenge but also encourages players to think about the welfare of animals, making it both an entertaining and heartwarming experience. So gather your family or friends, and see if you can manage the cutest chaos ever in Way Too Many Cats. Will you rise to the occasion and ensure every cat finds its forever home?
