Description
Players collect and discard cards in an attempt to build a set in their hand. The deck consists of cards from A to G with varying number of copies. You win if you start your turn with a completed set on your hand and say "Meow!" If you don't have a set, you may either draw a card from the deck, take a card from an opponent's discard pile, or discard a card from your hand. If you discard an "A" card, each player must pass one of the cards from their hand to the player on their left.
Collect, discard, swap, meow!

Quotes (from this video)
- I hate trick taking. I don't like it at all.
- this is one of the only occasions where my pure disliking of the game brings it down rather than the actual quality of the design.
- I did not like this game at all, so I was quite shocked why his name was on the box because I thought it was a pretty bad design.
- It's extremely tactical. And not only that, it seems like the first half of the game, you're just kind of doing things for the sake of it because you do not know how these cues are going to work out.
