About the Game

Avoid the Cats! is a family trick taking/avoidance game where players play as rats trying to avoid the cats, who will chase players that goes for specific cheese. Will you be able to score points avoiding them? Or, even better, will you face them all for even more of points?

Using some simplified mechanics from Cheez-Tricks, players play trick-taking hands, following usual trick-taking rules (must follow, trump, etc). In each round, though, some cats should be avoided. For example, the player should not get the Parmesan 7.

Points are awarded according to cats avoided. After three rounds, the player with the most points is the winner.
