Cats vs Cucumbers

Move your adorable wooden cats into cozy boxes and score big before your collective 9 lives run out in this quick-playing, lighthearted push-your-luck dice game from Levity Games and Envy Born Games. Designed by Ammon and Melanie Anderson, this fast-paced family filler challenges players to roll custom dice to gather toys, climb cardboard boxes, and hoard treats while avoiding the ultimate feline jump-scare: the dreaded cucumber.

Product Features

* Chaotic Push-Your-Luck Mechanics: Forces players to roll 6 custom dice up to three times per turn, strategically locking in scoring symbols while desperately trying to avoid getting spooked.
* The Three-Cucumber Bust Trap: Triggers a total turn "bust" if you accumulate 3 or more cucumber symbols, stripping you of your rewards and forcing the table to flip a card from the collective 9 Lives deck.
* Safety in the Box: Tasks your cat meeples with scaling five numbered cardboard boxes on the board; cats that make it to the top are safe and secure substantial endgame victory points.
* Toys, Treats, and Swipes: Yields unique tactical bonuses across different matching sets, allowing you to trigger special abilities via Toy tokens, build set-collection point multipliers with Treats, or "swipe" an opponent's cat to push them down a box tier.
* Forgiving Pity Tokens: Softens the blow of a rough turn by awarding a complimentary Cucumber Token whenever you bust, which can be discarded on a future turn to save yourself and trigger three emergency re-rolls.
* Fast and Scalable Family Play: Packs a bright, easy-to-learn framework that supports 2 to 6 players ages 8 and up, fitting smoothly into a brisk 15-to-30 minute time slot.
