WHAT IT IS

Designed for kids ages 10 and up, Cats Knocking Things Off Ledges from The Op Games is a game where players take part in cats’ natural instincts to knock things over. In the game, 2-4 players each take turns stacking platforms, placing their cats on platforms, and knocking toys off of them. At the start of a turn, players build a platform and place their cat on top of it along with one of their toys. Then, players must swat the toy off their platform and onto a different platform. The further the toy falls, the higher the score. When platforms are knocked down, players don’t get any points, and the platform is removed from play. The game ends when one player reaches 10 points, and all other players get one more turn.

WHY WE LOVE IT

First of all, this game is totally adorable. The only details on the cat figures are their eyes, making them look like the perfect chaos gremlins that they are. The game is also super easy to set up and play, making it the perfect game for folks who have a hard time picking up on more complex games.

IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW

The cat toy pieces are small and can easily be lost during play. Make sure to keep track of them all!

In this silly stacking game, players take turns building a wobbly tower, carefully balancing kitties, and batting cat toys over the side with sticks. The farther the toys tumble, the more points you’ll win — just don’t knock the tower over by accident!
