Magnet-Powered Pinball Games

A Game of Cat & Mouth is a Fast-Action Game for Two

The creators of the hit tabletop game Exploding Kittens is now introducing its first non-card game, A Game of Cat & Mouth, and it's called a fast-action, magnet-powered, "pinball’ish game" for two players. The aim of the game is to get colorful balls through the Cat Head centerpiece onto the opponent's side. There are three ways for players to win a round: knocking out the single black nose ball or all three white “teeth” or getting all eight of their yellow balls to the opponent’s side of the board.

As Elan Lee, Co-Creator and CEO of Exploding Kittens, says: "Fun two-player games have been notoriously absent from the tabletop industry, and ‘A Game of Cat & Mouth’ was born out of the desire to fill that void."
