Ahoy! Kitten

About this board game

Ahoy! Kitten is a bluffing and cunning game for 2–6 players that takes about 20 minutes to play. You are one of the Cat Pirates of the Open Sea, competing to collect more fish than your opponents.

Shiny little coins hold no interest for these Cats. Fish is what matters, and every round presents a tempting choice. A set of Sea tiles is placed side by side on the table, with each tile showing a varying number of fish.

When signaled, all players simultaneously place a finger on one of the tiles. You collect the fish from your chosen tile only if you are alone there, so reading the other Cats and making a clever decision are essential.

The confrontation does not end with the first choice. Other Cats may still get a chance to steal fish from your ship, making your haul vulnerable even after you have claimed it.

There are four kinds of fish in the Open Sea. Collecting fish as a set earns you more, giving players another reason to consider not only how many fish a tile offers, but also which kinds they need.

With its simultaneous selections, shared tile choices, and opportunities for theft, Ahoy! Kitten creates a compact contest of risk, timing, and deception. Decide where to place your finger, try to avoid sharing a tile, and gather valuable fish sets before rival Cat Pirates can take them away.

Released in 2023, this game puts the focus squarely on fish, rival choices, and the unpredictable fortunes of the Open Sea.
