Ended up with friends ordering this after playing it. It is sooo much fun whether with 2 or more people. Addicting for sure.

Wonderfull time playing this with family. The strategy and challenge to play this successfully is outstandingly fun 😁

My kids love playing this game. It’s really cute especially for kids that love cars since each person puts a cat law in their finger. The category cards are fun and appropriate . The instructions are easy to follow. Instead of everyone shouting at same time, we take turns which has helped make it a more enjoyable game with less competition (with young kids).

This is a fun game. It gets a little frustrating but all in good fun.

I Like this game but one thing I am unsure of. Once you finish the cards in your hand and you get to your face up cards on the table, can you play 2 cards that are the same like you would if they were in your hand?

The media could not be loaded. Cat-a-gories is a fun, quick game to help kids learn about categories and spelling. It's for 2 to 4 players. Each player wears a cat paw on their finger. Decide ahead of time how many rounds to play. Flip over a card, which contains a category like "restaurants". Then roll the 6 dice. Each die has a letter on it. Players can shout out a word that matches both the category and the letter on the dice. For example, a "restaurant" card would allow you to claim a "S" die if you said "Subway" or "Salad Bar". Once all the dice are claimed, the person with the most dice for that round wins the card. At the end of all the rounds, the winner is the person holding the most card.The game is well designed with lots of cards to play through. The paws are fun to wear, but may be not fit younger kids' finger. In that case, they could just hold the paw. The dice are sturdy foam, so they're soft enough for safe game play while also being a good size for visibility. The game is packaged in a very cute box and would be a lovely gift.

We certainly HOPE translation was the issue, otherwise either our entire family or the folks who made this game do not understand English too well ... and it could go either way. A couple of play-throughs and it ended up in the closet, most likely never to be touched again. If you have kiddos who truly love vocabulary, then this might be a good game for you, but otherwise I wouldn't recommend it.

I played this with my sister, both of us adults. Neither of us were being very competitive and I think that that helped it to be a ton of fun, and to entail a lot of laughter.To play, you pick a category card and then roll the dice. You then name things within that category, as quickly as you can think of them, that start with the letters shown on the dice. 3 of the dice have cat paws on a side which are 'wilds' and can be any letter. After naming something, you swipe the die toward yourself with the cat paw. If you and another player name something for the same letter at the same time, then you both try to swipe the letter at the same time. Whoever as the most letters, or in the case of a tie whoever grabbed the last letter, gets to keep the category card for that round.I can see how it could be boring if you are a very serious person or playing too competitively, but if you lighten up and just play for fun it is a blast. We were laughing a ton. When we would first roll the dice we sometimes had a lot of words we could think of and sometimes we got to a point where we couldn't think of serious answers and we would just make up funny things, or knock the remaining die or dice with the cat paws to switch them to another letter. It was a blast and I definitely plan on playing this game more.I can see how it'd be harder with young kids who don't have the experience base of older youth or adults; you would have to just let them answer some and not try to take all of the dice. I will probably play this with my eldest when she gets to be 6 or so (she's too young right now) and use it for a learning game.My only complaint is that one of the cards had a typo. It said 'restaraunts' instead of 'restaurants'. I didn't notice any other typos, but also didn't thoroughly check the deck.
