You are a cat. You live in a house. You share this house with your pet Hoomin. You goal is to lavish this Hoomin with Affection while causing Mischief elsewhere in the house. The first cat to score 9 Mischief points wins the game! Cantankerous Cats is a light weight, competitive card game centered around the feline propensity for mischief, cunning, and Schadenfreude. Players follow a basic Draw 3, Play 2 format with the ability to attack and interrupt other players. While a game with new players tends to be very polite and rigid; seasoned players will find a faster, brutal game that rewards clever use of hand management, probability, and cunning. Cantankerous Cats: Third Edition introduces a host of updates in a newly remastered version of our first tabletop hit: Simplified, streamlined rules for a faster, more furrocious game for the whole family. New full color rule book: ""A Cat's Guide to Manufacturing Mischief."" Includes the ""Kitten Catastrophe"" expansion with 12 new kitten themed cards. Upgraded components and remastered art. Our clowder of Cantankerous Cats has never looked better.
