About the game
Cat and the Tower is a board game from Arcane Wonders, designed by Masakazu Takizawa (たきざわ まさかず) (2024). It plays 1–5 players in 15–30 minutes, for ages 6+. BoardGameGeek players rate it 7.3 out of 10 and call it light (1.3 / 5 weight).
"Hang on Mama, I'm on my way!" Toto the black cat said, skittering towards the lopsided tower looming before him. Having been told that his mother left the world of the living to become a star in the sky, Toto and the rest of his feline friends bound unwaveringly for the top of the tower in the hopes to meet her again.
In Cat and the Tower, you will work together with other players to help Toto the cat on his way up a perilous tower to reach the stars, where he believes his mother is waiting for him. It is up to you and the other players to build the tower yourself, which will require a constant balancing act of mismatched walls and moving Feline Friends. Depending on the luck of the draw, you may be stuck with options forcing you to build with walls of extremely varying height that can send the entire tower toppling over if you are not careful.
Each turn will have you choosing options from the cards available to either build the tower ever higher, or testing how steady you can keep your hand by performing dexterity challenges that will help Toto climb up higher to his destination.
Toto’s Feline Friends will also come along for the adventure, and their presence can both help and hinder you. Adjusting their location will let you rebalance the tower, but they may also end up in inconvenient spots that get in the way of you placing walls to build new floors. When Toto sees his friends making it to the floor above him, it gives him the bravery needed to climb up higher and higher himself.
Build up the tower, place the Feline Friends and get Toto to reach his goal to win the game!
