Who it's for

Trick-taking fans who enjoy a twist where winning is not always the safe choice, and groups who like short, sharp card games.

Not for you if…

You want a traditional trick-taking game with strict suit-following, or dislike push-your-luck tension layered on top of trick play.

Vibe's take

Quick and sneaky-tense, since winning too much becomes its own trap - you start rooting for opponents to win tricks you would otherwise want.

About this game

Cat Trick is a trick-taking game where kittens hoard toys, but only up to a point - collect five different colors and you are fine, grab a sixth of the same one and you crash. Winning tricks with the highest card or a trump earns you toys, so knowing exactly when to stop taking matters as much as winning at all.
