Rocket Cats 2020

"A card drafting and programming party game in the vein of old 2D turn-based artillery games!"

Rocket Cats is a light-hearted, accessible, and exciting strategy game (with an easy to learn Party Mode) where teams of cats try to take out their traitorous family member (either Romeow or Julicat). The first team to take all 9 lives of their traitor wins the game!

But these families are bringing in the big guns. We're talking drone strikes, holy hand grenades, rocket launchers, sticky bombs, napalm strikes, explosive arrows, and more!

Each turn, you will draft 5 cards, program them out in front of you (choosing the top or bottom action of each card), then watch the chaos unfold. After each turn, projectiles move (either due to gravity or due to their momentum) and airborne cats fall toward the ground.

Just remember, no plan survives contact with the enemy. Your carefully placed grenade might be run into by your own teammate. Your sprint could be negated as you're pushed off the ceiling fan. Your enemy could slap you so hard you spin around and start attacking your own team!

Rocket Cats was born out of our love for old-school, 2-dimensional, side-scrolling artillery games like Worms Armageddon and Scorched Earth. We wanted to take the fun, chaotic excitement from these games and transform it into a boardgame. A game where you know things probably won’t end up exactly as you planned… which is half the fun!
