Cat’astrophes Game Rules
Welcome to Cat’astrophes, a whimsical game where you play as a cat trying to navigate through various challenges. It’s an exciting and fun adventure that will keep you on your toes!
Here’s how the game works:
The Objective
Your main goal in Cat’astrophes is to guide the cat safely to its destination. Sounds easy, right? Well, there’s a catch. Along the way, you’ll encounter obstacles and traps that you need to avoid. Your success depends on your ability to plan ahead, make quick decisions, and react swiftly to unexpected situations.
Controls
To control the cat, use the arrow keys on your keyboard. Press the up arrow to make the cat jump, the left arrow to make it move left, and the right arrow to make it move right. It’s simple and intuitive, so you’ll get the hang of it in no time.
Points and Power-ups
As you navigate through the levels, you’ll come across various points and power-ups. Collecting points increases your score, while power-ups give you special abilities. For example, there are power-ups that make your cat jump higher or move faster. Don’t forget to grab them when you see them!
Dangers and Challenges
Cat’astrophes is full of surprises, and not all of them are pleasant. There are dangerous spikes, moving platforms, and other obstacles that can harm your cat. Be vigilant and watch out for them. Remember, one wrong move can be cat’astrophic!
Level Progression
The game is divided into different levels, each with its own unique challenges. As you progress, the levels become increasingly difficult. You’ll face new obstacles and encounter more complex puzzles. But don’t worry, with practice and determination, you’ll be able to overcome any challenge that comes your way.
Have Fun!
Cat’astrophes is meant to be a fun and enjoyable experience. Don’t be afraid to experiment, take risks, and learn from your mistakes. Remember, it’s just a game, so have fun and let your inner cat adventurer shine!
Now that you know the rules, it’s time to embark on your cat’astrophic journey. Enjoy the game and may the feline force be with you!
Broken vases, torn garbage bags, chewed electrical cords, and toppled bowls. Yep, that’s the havoc I wreak as a mischievous cat in the game called Cat’astrophes. I can’t help it, it’s just my nature.
What’s Inside the Box?
When you open the box, you’ll find the following components:
- 6 individual cat cards
- 6 colored cubes
- 4 sets of 16 playing cards
- 1 mischief scale (board)
- 1 first-player token
- 1 mischief token
- score tracker
- Instructions
The Goal of the Game
Now, here’s the deal. You’re a mischievous little cat, and you love getting into trouble. But listen up, because this is important. You’ve gotta be sneaky. If your humans catch you, it’s game over! The winner of this game is the cat who can cause the most trouble without getting caught!
How to Set Up the Game
- First, choose a cat card and take the cube that matches its color. Put your cube on space 0 of the score tracker.
- There are 4 sets of playing cards, each with 16 cards. The back of each set is a different color. The draw pile should have as many sets as there are players.
The Action Card
Hey there! Let’s talk about cards in Cat-astrophes. There are three types of cards you should know about: mischief, trick, and cuddle. They each have their own special symbol in the top-left corner. And guess what? They can actually affect your mischief score!
So, here’s the deal: each card has a number of points in the top-right corner. When you play a card, your mischief score will either go up or down by that amount. But here’s the twist – cuddle cards are the only ones that can actually decrease your mischief score!
Mischiefs
A cat’s basic weapon. A mischief card is like a secret weapon for cats. When you play a mischief card, it adds points to your mischief scale. But be careful! If you go too far, there will be trouble! When a player reaches a certain point on the mischief scale, they will receive punishment points (either 1, 2, or 3) and move forward on the score tracker. Remember, it’s all about finding the right balance between mischief and consequences!
Want to know the best way to earn forgiveness from someone? Well, it’s through a cuddle card. These special cards have a magical effect – they can actually reduce your mischief score by the number of points shown on the card. So, if you play a card with 3 points, you’ll decrease your mischief score by 3. Pretty cool, huh?

How to Play
Let me break it down for you. The game starts with the first player, and then continues clockwise. Each player can choose one of three actions:
- Put a card face down in front of yourself;
- Put a card face down in front of another player;
- Take one or two cards from the top of the draw pile.
So here’s how it works: all players take turns doing something, and then we reveal our cards all at once. The first player starts, and then we go clockwise from there.
- Now, here’s an important rule: you can only have one card in front of you. If another player already played a card in front of you, you have two choices. You can either draw more cards or play a card in front of someone else.
- If you decide to draw cards, you can’t play a card after that.
- But, if you have no cards left in your hand, then you have to draw cards from the pile.
What Happens When We Reveal the Cards?
When playing Trick cards in the game, we resolve them first, always starting with the first player and moving clockwise. Each player’s mischief token is then moved up or down the mischief scale based on the card in front of them. This can have three different outcomes:
1. If the token lands on space 20 (the threshold) of the mischief scale, punishment points are given out and the token is moved back down to space 0 at the bottom of the scale.
2. Any additional mischief points will make the token move up the scale, starting from space 0.
At the end of the round, all the played cards are discarded, and the first-player token is passed to the next player clockwise. Then the next round begins!
End of the Game
The game can end in two ways:
- The draw pile runs out of cards;
If one of the cats misbehaves and racks up 20 punishment points, the game is over. No more rounds – it’s done.
Once the draw pile runs out of cards, you can’t draw anymore. Don’t shuffle the discarded cards back in; just accept that “draw cards” is off the table.
When the game ends, each player tallies up their punishment points. Count every mischief and trick card still in your hand. Move your token forward on the score tracker by the total number of points from those cards. However, cuddle cards don’t count against you.
Once the points are counted, the player with the lowest punishment score wins. Watch the score tracker to see who’s on top.
