  • Start Playing in Minutes!

    On your turn, choose one of three actions:

    1. Play an Item Card: Match your card to a tile as you choose which space on the board to claim.
    2. Play a Chaos Card: Twist the game in your favor or disrupt your opponents plans with some chaos!
    3. Exchange Cards: Draw new cards to help you on your hunt for the purr-fect opportunity.

  • Find Order Among the Chaos.

    Cats rule the board, and nothing stays in place for long! Surprise your opponents with sneaky combos as you claim your territory, align your cats, and pounce on every opportunity to score.

    Longer lines earn you bigger rewards, and 8 in a row instantly wins!

  • Chaos Cards are Your Secret Weapon.

    • Cat 'Nado - Rotate any tile and send your opponents' plans (and some cats) 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!"
