Key features of the card game Cute Cats

The objective of the card game Cute Cats

The aim of the game is to collect fish cards and compose sets of them. All the fish cards are shuffled to form a reload deck. Fish cards are laid out next to it according to the number of +1 players. Players put cat's paws on their index fingers and start the game. Count out loud together "1, 2, 3"! On a "3", all simultaneously place your cat's paw on one of the face-up cards in the row. If you are the only player to catch a fish with your paw, take this card and place it face up in front of you on the pile. If more than one player wants to catch the same fish with their paw, none of them gets the card and must discard it to the discard pile. Now check to see if any of you have collected at least 2 different types of fish, each of which has at least 3 cards. If so, the scoring will start. If not, discard the card from the row of cards closest to the discard pile, complete the row of cards and continue the game. Each player receives a paw token for each set of fish in their pile. A set consists of 3 or more cards of the same fish species. The end of the game occurs when someone gets 6 or more paws. The cat hunter with the most paws wins.
