Animals: Cats

While exploring a mysterious Egyptian pyramid, you discover a huge vault. There lie the Ancient Relics of Tutankhanine, the Cursed Pharaoh! Were the legends true?

Examining the symbols on the Pharaoh’s sarcophagus triggers a hidden mechanism. The ground shakes and heavy stone doors start to descend. You escape being sealed inside the vault by dashing further into the pyramid, but now you’re cut off from the exit. You’re trapped!

In the distance, you hear frightening growls, as if angry mummies are waking up to punish those who entered their tomb. It seems the legends are indeed true!

Your only way forward is the stone hallway leading off into the darkness.

Your objective is now clear:
Prevent the mummies from touching the Relics of the Pharaoh (they would gain immense power, threatening all mankind).
Activate the hidden mechanisms to wake the most powerful mummy in the pyramid, then defeat all the mummies to lift the curse once and for all!
You have 5 torches left - Run! Run! RUN!

Is that a light at the end of the… branch?

A curious cat prowls into the forest, lured by flickering lights of all colors dancing through the trees. What are they? Oh, the wisps from the old tales! Each one sparkles with charm and mischief, carrying a unique personality. Can you guide them just right and make your forest the brightest?

Welcome to Wispwood, a magical place populated by glowing wisps. On your turn, choose a wisp tile and a shape to place in your personal grid — your very own growing forest. Each wisp has desires about where it wants to shine, and even the magical trees have preferences! You'll aim to meet their expectations across three scoring rounds. Between rounds, the forest shifts — fading and expanding — yet the wisps you've already placed remain, shaping the possibilities ahead.

With each game, new goal cards redefine the wisps' whims, ensuring your forest grows in a unique way every time. Enter the forest and explore the magic of Wispwood!

Flow is a cooperative game where players work together to connect four animal spaces to the boat tile in the center of the board by drawing and playing tiles. Do you have what it takes to save the animals?

If players run out of tiles they and the animals have not been connected to the boat, they all lose.

The game uses a timer, and each time it runs out, players roll two dice that tell them where the giant wave strikes and washes away tiles already placed.

BaristaCat is a fun, simple competitive family card game for 2-6 players.

Players assume the role of barista and compete against other players to claim feline customers by fulfilling coffee orders. Each round players collect ingredient cards that can be combined to create different drink orders. There is a ‘lobby’ of 8 customers waiting for their order, and each customer card displays the type and number of each ingredient needed to craft their drink. Each customer is worth a given dollar amount based on that customers’ order, which can vary in complexity and size, and this amount counts towards a player’s point total at game end. If a player has the required ingredients to fulfill a customer card on their turn they claim that customer towards their total score!

In addition to ingredient cards, players have the chance to draw special cards that may help them, or may disrupt the plans of their opponents. The game ends when any player has claimed a total of 10 customers, and the player with the highest customer points wins!

A deceptively cute, deceivingly challenging abstract strategy game for two players.

The Mensa award winning, Game of the Year, boop, is back with a new Holiday edition and has really leveled up game play (literally!!).

The hoomans are hanging ornaments on the highest boughs of the tree, but those clever cats are leaping up and boopin’ them right off. You can win “Naughty” by knocking off 3 of your opponent’s ornaments or “Nice” by lining up three cats in a row!

The 4-tiered game board ‘tree’ presents a surprisingly mind-bending 3D challenge for players. And the alternate win condition of knocking off 3 of your opponent's ornaments creates new strategic problems to solve, elevating the play experience to a new high!
