Read the full game description
Cat Between Us is a light hand-management game about judging how much attention a mysterious cat will give each toy. Every round begins with a hidden target on the interest track. Players take turns placing lure cards beneath six toys until each has two cards, fixing the attraction value of every suit. The cards left in your hand determine where your marker lands: get closest to the cat without overshooting to win the round. Winners receive larger hands in later rounds, turning early success into a playful handicap. The first player to collect three round wins takes the game.
