“The purr-fect bluffing game for your family and friends”

The game’s instructions are simple to follow, and there’s even a card with a QR code for a video on the instructions included in the box. Every player is dealt five cards at the beginning of the game, along with five tokens featuring dogs and cats. According to the instructions booklet, the last person to pet a cat goes first. From there, the game takes off!

With a number of 2 or higher, the player must state how many accessories each other player has. For example, “2 Green” or “2 bow ties”. Each player must raise the number as the bids go around the table.

If a player doubts the bid, they must shout, “You Gotta Be Kitten Me!” At this point, all players must show their cards to tally up the number of accessories and see if the player is telling the truth or being sneaky.

If the number of accessories differs from the stated bid, the one who made the bid loses a card and a token. All player cards are scrapped and dealt out again, with the number of cards in hand decreasing as the game progresses.

When someone states a bid and another person thinks that bid exactly matches the number of accessories on the table, they can shout, “Purr-fect!”. They must give up a card and a token if their guess is incorrect. However, they receive an additional card and token if their guess is correct.

The decks also have delightful cards that make the game more engaging and fun. “Skip” cards let players skip their turn, so they can’t risk losing anything! “Wild” cards illustrate more giant cats like tigers and lions with multiple accessories to raise the bids!

The game also comes with a sticker sheet for families to make their own purr-sonalized cards so their pets can be added to the game.

Verdict

After playing with a group of four for 45 minutes, we had our first winner. It took some time to fully understand the instructions, but once the game started, we got into a groove and had a lot of fun. We had a single “Purr-fect” call out that was correct and multiple bluffs, which kept the game going for longer than the box stated. “You Gotta Be Kitten Me!” is a great game to bring on vacations because it is compact and light. The personalization cards are a cute idea; new cards will be in the pile the next time I play with my friends. There were laughs and shouts, and our cats joined in on the fun.
