Cathood Rules (English)

New page

Cathood is "the period of time you spend as a cat." And right now... you
are one! Spend this time as you please, walking around the neighborhood,
looking for food accompanied by... other cats?! Mark your territory by visiting
parks, meeting other animals, and collecting toys to gain affection points.
Become the most-loved cat of the town.

Goal of the Game -

Combine your actions and optimize your placements in the neighborhood.
Occupy key spaces and gain as many resources as possible. The cat with the
most affection points at the end of the game wins.

Gameplay Overview

The player with the Starting Cat card, François, starts and play continues clockwise. The game ends after one player has
placed all of their Statues and Houses. When this happens, finish the current round and then continue to final scoring.

Each turn has 2 phases:

Phase 1: Do Cat Things

Take 1 action for each disc next to your board. Take 1 of your discs and place it on the action you want to take.
Immediately activate its effect. After taking the action, you may take another action by placing another disc on any available
action. Since you can unlock a maximum of 3 discs, you may take up to 3 actions on your turn.

There are 8 different actions:

1) Linear Movement
Move 1 or 2 spaces in a straight line. Your cat can never
leave the neighborhood; it must use secret passages to
move. ("Teleport" tip: If you leave the neighborhood on one
side, you will re-enter on the opposite side.)

2) Diagonal Movement
Move 1, 2, or 3 spaces in a diagonal line.
("Rebound" tip: You can rebound 90' against the
border of the neighborhood.)

When you move over or stop on certain spaces, you will activate
different effects.
Shops provide resources that you'll need to gain Toys, Buildings, or
Parks. Each time you move over or stop on a space adjacent to a Shop,
immediately gain a resource cube of the corresponding color. Place
resources on the resource zone of your board. They are worth affection
points at the end of the game.
Note: You can only have 12 resources maximum. Ifyou gain more than this amount,
return the excess to the reserve.

Special Locations -
Coffee, Dog, and Bее
Activate these effects automatically when your cat stops on an adjacent space. Always activate the Coffee, Dog, and
Bee effects before Shop effects. If there are multiple adjacent effects, you choose the order to activate them.

Coffee: Exchange 1 resource with a different resource, up to 2 times.
Pay 1 resource on your board to the reserve and exchange it with any
other resource. You can make this exchange 0, 1, or 2 times.

Dog: Mandatory The dog barks at you! Move your cat to an
adjacent space. Gain resources or activate effects from the new
space, unless it is adjacent to another dog. In this case, ignore the
second dog.

Bee: Mandatory Choose 1 card from the visible Toyand
Building cards. Take it, then place it face down in your play
area; it is now reserved. Place the other cards on the bottom of
the deck. Then refill the row with new cards. Instead of one of the
available face-up cards, you may gain your reserved card by taking
the corresponding action (Pet Shop or Building). If you do not gain the
reserved card by the end of the game, it is worth negative affection
points. You can only have 1 reserved card at a time.

Fighting Other Felines
Cats are fiercely territorial animals. If you end your movement on a space already
occupied by another cat, you are invading its territory. This triggers a fight over
resources. Fights are resolved by a round of rock-paper-scissors.The winning cat steals a
resource from the losing cat. Choose any resource on the losing cat's board and add it to
your own. In case of tie, nothing happens and the cats can cohabitate on the same space.

Note: If you end your movement on a space with multiple cats, you must trigger a fight over
resources with each cat present.

3) Rotate a Tile
Rotate any tile in the neighborhood
by 90' to the left or right. If you rotate
a tile adjacent to your cat, only your
cat activates the effect

4) Swap
Swap any 2 orthogonally-adjacent tiles in the
neighborhood. There cannot be any cats between
the tiles. If you swap a tile adjacent to your cat,
only your cat activates the effect.

5) Pet Shop
To take this action, you must be adjacent to a Pet Shop. You may gain 1 of
the 3 visible Toy cards by paying the resources shown on the chosen card
to the reserve. Slide the card below your board so you can see the new
Toys. Each of the 3 types of Toys are worth different points at the end of
the game
Finally, place the leftmost House on your board on the Pet Shop you just
activated. No other cat may activate it again.

6) Building
To take this action, you must be adjacent to a Building.
You may gain 1 of the 3 visible Building cards by paying the resources shown on the chosen card to the
reserve. Slide the card below your board so you can see the affection points.

7) Park
To take this action, you must be adjacent to 1 of the 2 entrances on a tile with
a Park.

You must pay 2 identical resources to the
reserve depending on the color of the tree:
Jacaranda: 2 purple resources.
Maple: 2 orange resources.
Birch: 2 green resources

8) Repeat
Repeat an action you have already taken. This is the only way to take the same action twice on the
same turn. This action is locked by a disc. After placing your 4th House, you will unlock the Repeat action
and an additional disc for the rest of the game.

Phase 2: Sleep
Cats can spend around two-thirds of their day sleeping; it's an essential activity in their routine. After taking your actions,
take all the Action discs used during your turn and place them next to your board. They will be available on your
next turn.
Refill the Toy and Building card rows. Now the cat to your left can take their turn.

The game end is triggered when one cat has placed all of their Houses and Statues in the neighborhood. Finish the
current round so all cats have played the same number of turns. Once the game is over, continue to final scoring. Add
up all your affection points. The cat with the most affection points wins the game.
