Title: Cat & Mouse

Players:

2-8 players, best played with 2-4. Requires players to be able to conceal cards and make choices.

Resources:

52 Standard Playing Cards.

Goal/Objective:

Obtain the most cards out of all players.

Setup:

Have the players seated in a circle. Shuffle the deck of cards and deal 6 cards out to each player. The players are allowed to see the cards they were dealt, but not others. Put the main deck of cards in the middle of the players. Players can decide who goes first and turns will proceed clockwise.

Game Mechanics:

• Each player picks a card from their hand to play face up.
• After each player has played a card, starting with who goes first, decides if they want to draw another card from the deck face down. Proceed clockwise with this choice for other players.
• After this decision is made, reveal hidden cards and the winner is the player with the highest value card.
• If there is a draw, players declare war and must play cards in their hand to reveal who gets higher.
• The winner claims all cards played and get put in their winnings pile.
• Starting with who went first, draw cards from the main deck until you get 6 again. Proceed clockwise for every player to do this.
• Proceed onto the next player clockwise and repeat steps 2-5.
• The game ends when there are no more cards left to draw and all players run out of cards.

Outcome:

Once the game is over, players count how many cards they won. The player with the highest number of cards wins!
