Cats Review
Cats is a fast, silly game filled with chaos and fur. Expect yarn balls, card flips, and a lot of luck—great for laughs, not so great if you want to flex your gamer brain.
Abstract Strategy
These games focus on strategy rather than luck or a theme. They usually have minimalistic designs and rules, emphasizing skill and critical thinking. Examples include “Chess” and “Go” and “Stratego”.
