This positively pawsome new game from Exploding Kittens promises ferocious feline fun wrapped in a rainbow package! A Game of Cat & Mouth is described as a fiercely competitive, magnet-powered, highly addicting, pinball-ish game — and it lives up to all of the above. This is cutthroat multiplayer pinball!
A Game of Cat & Mouth is a two-player experience and doesn’t feature any cards at all. Instead, this game is all about using magnetic kitty paws to launch little balls through a cat’s mouth.
Not just for kids, this innovative game sets up in a snap, and the box becomes the game itself. A snap here, a slide there, and you’re good to go. No batteries, no punching out a million pieces, no unwrapping cards from plastic shrink wrap — none of it!
Players each start with four yellow balls on their side of the board, plus the black “nose” ball in the cat’s face, as well as three white “teeth” balls. Players can load one ball into their kitty launcher at a time, and try to flick it at just the right angle to get the ball through the cat’s mouth. To win, either hit all eight balls over, knock out the three cat “teeth,” or pop out the single nose ball.
Balls will be flying, madness will ensue, and laughs will be had. It is truly the cat’s meow!
