About the Game

In Cat Jack, you want to gain the friendship of the black cat. In this cute and clever twist on the classic push-your-luck mechanics of Blackjack, will you be the person who earns the black cat's favor?

Gain the friendship of the black cat Push-your-luck to try to match the Black Cat's value! Get mouse toy tokens for each hand you win, gain the most tokens to win the game!

Your goal is to get as close as possible to the cat’s number—without going over. But the cat has a hidden card that adjusts its value!

Each turn you will choose to PLAY or PASS. If you choose to play, you draw the top card of the deck and must play a card from your hand in front of you.

When you pass, you're done with the round and you're locked in with the sum of the number cards you've played. Once all players pass, you flip the hidden card and see who was the closest to the black cat's value!

It's a simple twist on the table game Blackjack, but players can always have information about all of the cards: the ones in other players hands, the top of the deck, and the black cat's card based on the range shown on the back of the cards!
