Scratch the Deck is a cool card game for people who love cats, the game itself is a fresh new take on the classic 'get rid of all your cards first' game mode, with some original mechanics.

This edition brings a selection of new characters, each with a unique special power, that will completely change the game and offer a huge advantage to the player who draws that card. The new super power cards can either be included one at a time per game or all in the same game for a super charged game play experience.

Each player is dealt 4 cards face up and 9 cards face down. The 4 cards face up are to be kept in hand and the 9 cards face down cannot be seen or used until the end of the game when there is no more deck cards to draw from (9 Lives End Game).

Each turn players must lay a card of equal or higher value than the player before, for example: on top of a 4, you can lay a 4 or higher. If you have multiples of the same number you can lay them at the same time. If you lay 4 or more of the same number, you can Scratch the Deck (discard the pile and lay a new start card). As long as there are cards left in the deck, players must keep a minimum of 4 cards in hand at all times, so, if you lay 2 cards, you pick up 2, if you lay 1 card, you pick up 1.

Every time you place a card of the same value of the player before, for example: you lay a 5 on top of a 5, you pick a card up from the 'Good Cat Bad Cat' deck. Good Cat Cards offer advantages to players that can be helpful to the player (especially during the 9 lives end game) and Bad Cat Cards make the game harder for the player.

Super Power Cat Cards (Can be placed on any card, almost):
1 = Can be laid on any card and is the lowest value card in the game
3 = Can be placed under the pile (Hide Card)
6 = Can be laid on any card, the next player must play a double (2 or more cards of the same value) or Alpha (11 or 12) card next
9 = Can be laid on any card, the next player must lay lower than a 9
10 = Can be laid on any card, the card pile is discarded and a new start card is laid (Scratch the Deck)
? = Wild Cat Card can be any card the player wants it to be (but not one of a kind)

1 in every 4 cards of a set is a 'One of a Kind' card, special cards cannot be played on top of these cards!

Every time you place a card of the same value of the player before, for example: you lay a 5 on top of a 5, you pick a card up from the 'Good Cat Bad Cat' deck. Good Cat Cards offer advantages to players that can be helpful to the player (especially during the 9 lives end game) and Bad Cat Cards make the game harder for the player.
