Cat Between Us is a clever, fast-paced card game where players predict item values and race to position their token as close as possible to the cat on the track—without passing it. Each round brings new strategy and shifting difficulty: win more rounds, and you'll start the next one with more cards in hand, making victory tougher. It's perfect for game nights with friends and family.
How to play
Each round, draw a card to place the cat token on the track, then deal hands. Players take turns playing cards under six items on the table until each item has two cards. Sum those pairs to determine each item's value, then add up the values of cards left in your hand and place your token on the track. Whoever lands closest to the cat without passing it wins the round—ties are possible. The first player to win three rounds takes the game.
Why you'll love it
The brilliant twist is that winning makes the next round harder: each victory means you start with an extra card in hand, so you can't just repeat the same strategy. Games are quick (15–40 minutes) and work brilliantly with 2–6 players, making it ideal for casual game nights, family gatherings, or competitive group play.
