Streetwise cats claw their way to nine points to prove who’s top feline.

Gameplay

Players place limited predictive bids on how many tricks they'll win, then play must-follow with a fixed trump. Each trick's winner drafts one played card into their hand, reshaping options as they strive to hit their bid for points.
