Cat Packs

About this board game

Cat Packs is a fast-paced card game with tile-laying for 1–4 players, played in 45 minutes. Draft cats from the alley, use resources to play cards from your hand, and assemble a whimsical cat gang while competing for the most catshine.

The game features more than one hundred unique illustrated cats by artist Liselotte Eriksson. Each cat has different requirements and benefits, so building your pack is about more than simply collecting cards. Some cats fit together better than others, making careful positioning an important part of every turn.

On your turn, choose a new cat from the alley and decide how to add it to your growing pack. Your cards can create useful combinations, but their positions matter as you work toward multiple ways to score catshine.

• Collect sets of five cat types.
• Surround certain cards with other cards.
• Match the corners of four cards to create a catshine symbol.
• Win the power struggle that takes place after each round.

These scoring opportunities encourage you to balance immediate benefits with the shape and direction of your entire arrangement. A promising cat may have demanding requirements, while a useful placement can affect several future choices.

With its blend of card drafting, resource use, tile-laying, and shifting positional decisions, Cat Packs offers a lively challenge for groups of different sizes. Whether you are collecting cat types, building matching corners, or competing in the round-ending power struggle, every addition can bring you closer to earning the most catshine.
