Cat in the Box: Deluxe Edition(Deluxe Edition) (2022)

“There is nothing to complain about with this game. In fact the complete opposite is true, I need to shout about how good it is. If you like trick taking this is one you must have in your collection.”

“Overall, I've been delighted with Cat in the Box. I like the way the trick-taking primarily uses classic rules without a lot of tweaks, but also the challenge that the indeterminate colors add to the game.”

“Once you understand that concept, the theme reveals itself. There's also like another layer of like as you're playing it, it gets extra crunchy cuz you're also trying to connect, you're trying to connect where your tokens are, which is a whole other little layer of this, which I quite enjoy.”

“Cat in the Box is a trick-taking game, and Cat in the Box is a great game. Each round of each game offers so many different ways to approach it, and the novel approach of a card not having a suit until you declare it really sets it apart from its competition.”

“But a game I will always be happy to have on my shelf. There was a reason it did well at Gen Con, and there will be definitely a reason it will do well at your table.”(10:50)

“It's kind of a blast to play, and the sort of game you can teach quite easily. It just might not be ideal for players who want a cozy cat game.”

“Go get a copy of Cat in the Box. Buy two, even. It's cheap, you can afford it. This game is fun, it's dramatic, it's funny, it's crunchy. It is, in a word, neat.”

“Cat in the Box is excellent. What's more, it's thematic in deeply meaningful ways in a genre that has no business bringing its theme to life so profoundly.”

“One of the best tricky gaming games I've played in a while in fact I would even say the best except the crew exists but taking the crew out of the equation cat in a box is the best trick taking game I've played in the last several years it's fantastic”(9:09)

“If you're looking for a trick-taking game with a unique twist, we highly recommend Cat in the Box.”

“I like trick taking games, I always have, and I think this is a game that I haven't yet, but I would love to bring out with, like, my family, uh, like, my aunts and uncles and stuff like that, like who know trick taking games, and really just, like, throw something weird at them.”(49:02)

“I found it really charming, really interesting, really fun, probably of the trick takers that I've seen, maybe Shaman being the other one, that I would actually welcome playing and would find myself seeking out.”(32:25)
