About the game
Cat Lady is a light, quick drafting game where players collect cats, toys, food, catnip, and costumes across a shared card market. Draft cards three at a time, building your collection while making sure you have enough food to keep your feline friends happy: hungry cats cost you points. Whoever accumulates the most victory points at the end wins this charming, cat-themed set-collection filler. Its simple drafting core makes it easy to teach and quick to play.
Hobbli's Notes
Cat Lady is exactly what a good filler should be: light, charming, and over before anyone gets tired of it. The card-drafting core is simple but has just enough push-pull tension around food management to keep decisions interesting. It won't scratch a deep-strategy itch, but as a cute, humorous 30-minute set-collection game it's an easy crowd-pleaser.
What we like
- Charming cat theme with light humor throughout.
- Quick 30-minute playtime fits easily into any game night.
- Simple drafting rules are easy for all ages.
- Food-management twist adds light strategic tension.
Keep in mind
- Limited depth for players wanting a meatier strategy game.
- Drafting can feel repetitive after many plays.
- Scoring penalties for hungry cats can feel harsh to newer players.
