About the Game

All across the country, cats gather in search of the next great feast. They crave Fish, and no celebration is complete without Sake. As long as there’s plenty of both, the festival is sure to be a success!

Festival of a Thousand Cats is a trick-taking game with a clever twist: both high and low numbers can be powerful. The game features four suits — Spring, Summer, Fall, and Winter — and each season has its own unique number distribution. Every card matters, so timing and careful play are key.

Watch out for the crows, make clever use of the Yorozu cards, and outsmart your opponents to collect more Fish than anyone else!

This second edition features simplified and revised rules compared to the original, revised gameplay elements, and the introduction of a new majority mechanic.
