Quotes (from this video)

Thematic elements
  • Cat attraction competition using lures and toys
  • A house with four room cards and toy cards used for luring a cat.
Comparison games
none
Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
  • 5-player rule variant — If there are five players, remove one toy and its matching suit from the game.
  • Attraction value calculation — The attraction value of a toy is the total of the two lure card values placed under it.
  • Dealing lure cards based on wins — At the start of each round, players are dealt a number of lure cards based on their wins, using a chart.
  • Interest track and markers — Players move markers on an interest track according to their calculated attraction totals; cat marker can share spaces with others and affects round outcomes.
  • Lure card placement under toys — On a turn, a player selects a lure card from their hand and places it face up under a toy card; each toy can have at most two cards under it; cards may be overlapped as long as their values remain visible.
  • Nuzzle phase (hand reveal and scoring) — After all cards are placed, each player reveals their remaining cards and totals attraction values based on the toys’ values to determine scores for that round.
  • Round win and game end — The first player to attract the cat three times wins the game; rounds proceed with setup adjusted by prior wins.
  • set collection — Cards that share the same toy symbol form a suit (color group) and influence scoring and setup when there are more players.
  • Time track — Players move markers on an interest track according to their calculated attraction totals; cat marker can share spaces with others and affects round outcomes.
  • Toy suits and color grouping — Cards that share the same toy symbol form a suit (color group) and influence scoring and setup when there are more players.

Quotes (from this video)
  • In Cat Between Us, you and the other players are trying to attract the attention of a hiding cat.
  • You'll play cards in your hand to influence which toys the cat will be most attracted to.
  • Be the first to attract the cat three times and you'll win.
  • The game is played over a series of rounds and each is broken into three phases starting with the prep phase.
  • And at the end of the round, the toys remaining in your hand will either cause the cat to come to you or go rushing into the arms of another player.
  • The total value of the two lures under a toy represent the attraction value of that toy.
  • If there's a tie, the tied player who performed best in the last round according to the normal rules is the winner.
  • The number of paw prints showing on the shelf where your cat is located reminds you of your wins.
