Description
Play the cute and clever 1-4 player game of Cat-tastrophe! where you (the firefighter) try to rescue the kitty from the apple tree without making it fall! The quality pieces in the game include 1 frame, 2 poles, 1 cat figure, 29 leaf pegs, 14 apple pegs, and 20 bark pegs. The game also contains instructions. To play, stack up the leaf, apple, and bark pegs in the frame and set the cat on top of them. Similar to Jenga, you push out the pegs in the frame using one of the poles. The player who pushed out the last peg when the cat falls loses the game! The instructions also include a more difficult way to play. Pieces are cut from natural wood and painted with safe, water-based paint. The game improves critical thinking and fine motor skills.
Publisher's Description of Cat-tastrophe! Game
Oh no! The cat's stuck up in the tree, and the firefighter can't get him down! It's a catastrophe! Grab your handy pole and carefully push out the tree's pegs to help lower the feisty feline back down to Earth. But be careful: don't let kitty fall, or you lose! Think of it like Humpty Dumpty: don't let him fall off the wall! Each game of Cat-tastrophe! includes 53 colored pegs (which store neatly in an included cloth storage bag), a wooden frame to build the tree, 1 kitty cat, a dowel to poke out the pegs, and an instructions booklet with 2 ways to play for extra fun!
Cat-tastrophe! is a fun dexterity challenge that supercharges fine motor skills and critical thinking capacity. Sure, as a family game it's great for 2-4 players, but it's even an exciting challenge for one. And, unlike other kids board games that use plastic parts, Cat-tastrophe! is cut from natural wood and finished with safe, water-based paint. It's traditional fun with a modern twist! Inside the instructions booklet you'll find rules for playing classic Cat-tastrophe!, modifications for young children (or parents!) who need a little extra help, and a special alternate game that's played for points. It's great for Cat-tastrophe pros who want a little extra risk in exchange for bigger rewards.
