Cats vs Dragons (2025)

In Cats vs Dragons, players summon armies of cats and dragons to control the four dragon gods of Ekratoria while harnessing feline-themed spells to create chaos for opponents and fend off hostile spells. Each round, all players receive the same number of resource points, which are used to play cards from their hand on their turn. Cards include creatures (which are worth points), spells (to interfere with other players) and artefacts (for points and to block certain spells), and players draw them randomly from a shared deck. When played, creatures and artefacts must be assigned to one of the dragon gods, whereas spells disappear after one use. Each turn, a player can draw one card from the communal deck, and the game ends after the last card is drawn and everyone has had a final turn. The player who has the most points on a dragon god controls that god, and the player who controls the most gods wins. Lightweight and quick to play this game is very dynamic, with a balance of strategy and randomness. —description from the designer
