Description
The goal in The Amusing Game of Kilkenny Cats, as it was originally known, is for each player to move two of his eight pieces (cats) onto his own goal squares (mice) at the edge of the board. But to get there, you'll have to avoid or capture the other players' cats, all while the length of your moves are determined by the roll of a die.
NOTE: Due to The Game Crafter discontinuing their boxes, this game is now published without a box.
Catamount Games is dedicated to making available those traditional, abstract, or obscure games that have been neglected or short-shrifted in today's marketplace. For more detailed information on any of these games, click the links to the right for "Free Downloads" and "More Info."
