Description

Get ready for a quick and thrilling game of cat and mouse, literally. In this 1985 classic designed by Henri Sala, two players go head-to-head in a battle of wits, trying to outmaneuver each other to be the first to have five of their pieces showing. The game is incredibly simple to learn, with rules that can be explained in no time, making it accessible to players of all ages and skill levels. As the mouse, you start first, and from there, it's a wild ride of strategic moves, trying to stack your pieces or place them on top of your opponent's to gain the upper hand. With a playtime of just two minutes, games are fast-paced and intense, requiring a combination of memory, enclosure, and tile placement skills to come out on top. The goal is straightforward: be the first to have five cats or mice showing, and you win. But don't worry if you don't emerge victorious right away - you can play multiple games, earning 25 points for a win and 5 points for each piece not put in play, adding a whole new level of strategy and competition to the game. Whether you're a fan of abstract strategy, animals, or just love the thrill of outsmarting your opponent, Cat & Mouse is the perfect game for you.
