What to Expect

You play as a Cat Lady, drafting cards in groups of three to collect cats, toys, food, and costumes. You must ensure you have enough food for your cats, or hungry cats will deduct points. Players build their tableau by selecting cards strategically. The player with the highest victory points wins.
