Lucky Cat is a highly interactive, cozy dice game.

Once upon a time, there was an evil king who only loved one thing — science. He destroyed everything superstitious in his kingdom. All the lucky cat statues were smashed — except one! Shortly after, everyone became cursed and a giant fire ravaged everyone’s homes.

In Lucky Cat, 1-5 friends play as ambitious merchant cats competing to lead the once-thriving kingdom.
Take turns rolling chunky dice that can help or hinder the whole table. Will you play it safe, pay taxes, and carefully reconstruct the lost pieces of ancient lucky cat statues? Or will you take calculated risks, amass hidden wealth, and outsmart your rivals? The people need a new leader. Are you the one?

To win:
Be the first player to have 10 gold.
OR
Be the first player to have 2 sets of lucky cat tiles.

The dice have three faces that give you different resources: coins, broken cat tiles, and reroll cubes. The other faces give money to other players, levy taxes, or let you invest your money in your store (hiding it from the government). The more taxes everyone pays, the more dice everyone gets to roll as the city is rebuilt. The reroll cubes work on yourself as well as other players rolls.

Optional Dexterity rules: In the center of the table, a lucky cat plushie beckons. If any player rolls two cat or two crown symbols, be the first to hit the plushie and you get the broken cat tiles or avoid the heavy tax! Move Fast!

Advanced variable power tiles allow you to manipulate the dice, your cash, and your luck. Take-that advanced powers are entirely optional to include or not. Variable starting conditions allow experienced players to draft different starting resources.

Lucky Cat was designed for big or small groups of diverse friends. There are many paths to victory: strategy, speed, luck, bluffing, and even negotiation. How will you win?
