Title:
Way Too Many Cats
Description:
Way Too Many Cats is a competitive drafting spatial puzzle game about drafting cats, making each cat happy, and pressing your luck in the number of kittens you take on.
Players are managers of an adoption agency trying to show off each cat in the best light. They accomplish this differently depending on the cat type and the individual characteristics of each cat.
The game is played until one player fills all showcase spots in their adoption center; all players get equal turns and the player with the cutest cats wins!
—description from the publisher
Cat Shelter Management: In Way Too Many Cats, players run a cat shelter, aiming to make the cats happy and increase their chances of adoption. Varied Cat Preferences: Each cat has unique desires, challenging players to balance the happiness of adult cats and avoid being overwhelmed by kittens. Adoption Challenge: Navigate the game’s dynamics by finding the right balance to create the most adorable and adoptable set of cats. Strategic Placement: Test your skills in wrangling cats and placing them strategically to meet their individual needs. Kitten Management: Avoid getting overrun by kittens as you strive to maintain a harmonious balance and create the cutest cat collection.
Players all start with their player board and a starter cat, which can give them a direction to go in the game.
Players will collect a set of food, toy and/or kittens tokens each turn, along with 1 or 2 cats on their turn. Players choose between the following options:
• The smallest-sized set of tokens and two cat cards of their choice
• The mid-sized set of tokens and one cat card of their choice
• The largest set of tokens and the cat card at the end of Cat Alley.
Each cat card must be placed somewhere in your shelter, then kitten and item tokens are placed to the side of your shelter.
You may give item tokens immediately or wait for a future turn to do so. For example, Harold J Bear really likes feather toys and will gain two cuteness points if he has been given one. You could give him a cat bed... but he won’t care about it.
Kittens can be fantastic and super cute! If you have a full set of different kittens, that’s 15 cuteness points, while having a set of four of the same type of kitten is 8 points. However, kittens not in a set tend to be sad, so they will give the player negative points.
Don’t worry, though! You can also use one of every cat item to create a kitten habitat within your shelter, which can make the other cats even happier! Who doesn’t want to be around a bunch of rambunctious kittens?
The game ends when any one player completely fills their shelter, players then finish the round, and cat and kitten cuteness is tallied! The player with the cutest set of cats wins!
