Hissy Fit

Description

--- This cooperative 2-player card game pits humans against a reluctant cat in a tense battle to reach the carrier before scratches or hissy fits overwhelm them. (20 words) Key mechanics include: - *Cooperative coordination* Two players as humans plan together to guide the cat along a path into the carrier. - *Human Cards usage* Employ treats, distractions, and strategies to thwart cat defenses, build combos, and dress wounds. - *Cat Cards opposition* Drawn each turn, causing the cat to run, hide, scratch, or trigger conniptions and Hissy Fits. - *Risk management* Avoid five scratches or three Hissy Fits, which result in cat victory and potential emergency room trip. - *Time pressure* Successfully lead cat to carrier before time expires for human victory. In this cooperative card game of carefully coordinated cat coaxing, two players embody humans striving to maneuver their defiant cat along a designated path into the carrier ahead of a vet visit, all while risking escalation to an emergency room scenario through unchecked aggression. Victory demands strategic deployment of Human Cards—encompassing treats, distractions, and tactical maneuvers—to systematically dismantle the cat's resistances, necessitating meticulous action planning, wound dressing to mitigate scratches, and combo construction for progressive advancement before an encroaching time limit. Countering these efforts, Cat Cards are revealed each turn, inciting the feline to flee, conceal itself, lash out with scratches, or erupt in full conniptions that accumulate toward three devastating "Hissy Fits," with defeat befalling the humans upon reaching five scratches or the hissy threshold. ---
