About this board game

Hot Tin Roof is a 3–4-player board game with an approximate 60-minute play time, released in 2014. Players take on the roles of clever cats moving across rooftops above a busy city, competing to become the town’s Top Cat.

Your goal is to stake out as many shelters as possible while choosing the right routes between them. Along the way, connect with your cat buddies and collect tribute fish from fellow felines. These fish can be exchanged for valuable cans, bringing you closer to victory.

Reaching the top requires more than simply moving from roof to roof. You must navigate paths carefully, avoid the dangers of the city streets below, and deal with the fishy demands of hungry rivals. Each decision helps shape your progress as you compete for the most cans.

  • Move stealthily across rooftops high above the city.
  • Stake out shelters and connect with cat buddies.
  • Collect tribute fish and turn them into valuable cans.
  • Choose among different paths toward victory in every game.

Hot Tin Roof offers a playful competition filled with rooftop movement, feline alliances, and careful choices. The player who collects the most cans becomes Top Cat, so nimble movement and clever planning are essential.

Whether you are avoiding hazards below or responding to rivals’ demands, every game invites you to find your own route to success. Being furry is not enough: to rule the rooftops, you’ll need to be curious, quick, and oh so clever.
