Description

--- "In Cat Lady," players act as elite cat ladies drafting cards to collect cats and items while managing food to avoid score penalties for the highest victory points. Key mechanics include: - *Card drafting* Players select cards three at a time to build collections. - *Resource collection* Gather toys, food, catnip, costumes, and cats. - *Food management* Ensure sufficient food for cats to prevent point deductions from hungry felines. - *Victory points* Highest total score determines the winner. In Cat Lady, players embody elite "cat ladies" akin to historical figures like Marie Antoinette and Ernest Hemingway. The core gameplay revolves around drafting cards in sets of three, enabling the acquisition of various items including toys, food, catnip, costumes, and lovable cats. A critical risk-reward element requires balancing food resources against the number of cats collected; insufficient food results in penalties as hungry cats subtract from the player's score. The game culminates in a competition where the player amassing the highest total victory points emerges victorious. ---
