Description
Quick! It’s time to sharpen your claws and head to the Cloaked Cat ball! Players try to unmask each other among all the velvet-pawed guests. They’ll try to play their cat cards skillfully, draw the right conclusions, all while trying to reveal as little as possible about themselves. The player who can deduce the most information about the other players wins!
