The Cat*

Cats are unpredictable: one moment they are excited, the next bored, and then playful again. Players aim to quickly change their cats' moods through simultaneous card play. Each player receives three or four piles of cards, depending on the number of players, with each card depicting cats in thirteen different moods. The objective is to have only cards with a single mood in each pile. When a round starts, players simultaneously exchange one card from their pile with one from the center; exchanging cards between piles is not allowed. A player calls "Stop" when they collect four identical cards in each of their piles to end the round, earning points based on their completed piles. The game concludes when a player reaches 20 points, and the player with the most points wins.
