About the game

What is Festival of a Thousand Cats?

Enjoy the feast by collecting Fish and Milké (an intoxicating mix of milk and catnip)! Be careful though! Even cats will get incapacitated if they drink too much! (Always drink responsibly!) Cats all over the country are always looking for their next feast. They love Fish and they can’t celebrate without Milké. As long as they have those two, they are all happy! Festival of a Thousand Cats is a Trick-taking game that is unlike normal ones - both small and large numbers matter! There are four suits (Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter) in the game. Each season has different distribution of numbers. Think carefully before you play your card! Beware of the crows, and use trump cards well, and you will win more fish than other players!
