Cat and Mouse is a new two-player card game played with a standard 52-card deck of cards (no jokers).
One player is the Cat, the other player is the Mouse. The Mouse lays traps for the Cat in secret, and the Cat tries to figure out what they are and take them down. It’s heavily inspired by the iocane powder scene from the Princess Bride, but has other inspirations as well (listed on the game page).
Players have said:
“Fun and quick.”
“Light bluffing elements… fairly straightforward to learn.”
“Do you know what I have? You should know what I have.”
-Mouse player
“This is a blind scratch in the dark, under the bed, looking for the mouse.”
-Cat player
