Collect adorable cat cards, manage your hand through clever trick-taking rounds, and outscore your opponents in a quick portable package.
Meow (designed by legendary game author Reiner Knizia and published by Cranio Creations) is a charming, accessible card game built around feline flair. The primary gameplay objective centers on tactical trick-taking and set collection: players compete over quick rounds to capture specific cat cards, manage suit strengths, and accumulate the most points before the final paws are played.
The primary mechanical highlight is its streamlined Knizia-style design, offering deep strategic positioning and card-counting decisions wrapped in a breezy, family-friendly theme. Designed for 2 to 6 players, light tactical sessions play out in about 20 minutes. To emerge as top cat, you must read the table, time your trick captures, and avoid getting caught with unwanted penalties.
