The game's name over two fans of painted cat cards, under a full moon.

A night at a time

Moon Cats is a card game for one player. Each night the moon sets a score to reach, and you have four Casts to reach it.

The nights never end. Each one asks for more than the last, and every run ends on the night you could not clear. Then you start again, with more cards to find.

How a night goes

Drag up to three cards from your hand into a row of five slots, then Cast. Every card adds its Might, card effects add Fate, and your points are Might × Fate.

Then the top card of every pile burns away, your hand refills, and whatever is left stays in the row for your next Cast.

What makes a big Cast

Stack

Pile up cards of the same suit or rank, and every card in the pile scores.

Chain

Neighbours of the same suit link up for more Fate.

Prism

All four suits in one row doubles your Fate.

Combos

Eighteen patterns to find, from Twins to Cat's Cradle. A row can score three at once.

Between nights

Choose a new card or relic, spend your Silver on items and upgrades, and read the omen for the night ahead. An omen changes the rules for one night: one Cast fewer, a locked slot, a suit that falls asleep.

A card's Might is rolled when you draw it, and the score a Cast will make is shown before you commit to it.
