Waffle Thursdays- Caturday is coming together!

Since my days are all out of order anyway :whistle:... here's what I've been working on!
Caturday is going to be 1 of my 2 entries in this year's 54-Card Contest. Right now, the plan is 40 cards and it supports solitaire or 2-player play.
I will provide separate rules for 3-4 players, but that will require a 2nd set of cards and would push it to 80 cards, so I depending on how the rules are worded this year, I might hold off on sharing the 3-4 players rules 'til post contest and just put a note in the contest rulebook. We'll see :geek_grin:.

Card 1F (1, Front Side). Not quite what it looks like printed because the bleed zone is showing.
The card layout and gameplay are heavily inspired by Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice, but scoring is 100% different and that really changes up the gameplay too.
Pumpkin Spice & Everything Nice is chill. It's comfy, cozy, and mostly low-stakes. You can make it "crunchier" if you want, but you don't have to.
On the other hand, Caturday is crunchy. Period. Don't let the cute kitties fool you, these purrsnickety felines present you with plenty of puzzly, even brain-burny play.

And you can tell that I'm mostly happy with the rules... because I hit print on the prototype! No more post-its! 😜
Happy Thursday and happy playing!

Bring gluten-free flour we can use to make a GF dough in case we want to make pizza?
Or whatever sounds good.

I went to a few cons back in the dark ages, late 70s-early 80s, in SoCal. I never really enjoyed playing at cons, I only liked the dealer rooms. I've lived within driving distance of Geekway as long as it's been running, but have never been, except to do a swap in the parking lot for the virtual flea market.
