  • Start playing in minutes!

    On your turn, choose one of three actions:

    1. Play an item card. Match the image on a card to a tile space on the board and place your token there.
    2. Play a chaos card. Follow the instructions on the card to twist the game, displace strategies, or shove their plans out the window!
    3. Exchange cards. Discard your hand to the bottom of the deck and draw new cards if you're hunting for the purrfect opportunity.

  • Find order among the chaos.

    Cats rule the board, and nothing stays in place for long! Surprise your opponents with sneaky combos as the board shifts, pressure builds, and every decision reshapes your path to victory. Adapt to the mayhem, claim your territory, align your cats, and pounce on every chance to score.

    Longer lines earn bigger rewards, and 8 in a row means an instant win!

  • Chaos Cards are your secret weapon.

    Use them to meow-nipulate the board, surprise your opponents, or unleash chaos to seize the win!

    • Cat 'Nado - Rotate any tile and send your opponents' plans spinning.
    • Cat Fight - Swap any two tokens and savor the sound of your opponents' frustrated hiss.
    • Cat Zoomies - Push a row of tiles and scramble your opponents' plans faster than your cat ignores your loudest "Don't touch that!"
