Cat

Cat (Wicked Dead Brewing Company) is an entertaining game about, naturally, cats.  The book is a fun, quick read.  The art is rather simple but fitting for the game.  The premise is simply that cats have been tasked with protecting humans from invisible little creatures called boggins.  Of course cats also have to contend with all sorts of other challenges from dogs to evil humans so their job is not an easy one.  They also must foray into the realm of dreams to protect humans there.  Due to its size the system is fairly simple.  Cat's design leans stronger towards pick-up games rather then a long term campaign.  The only issue that I ran across when reading was the challenge (as a cat owner) of getting a group of cats to work together.  They are generally solitary creatures and the book does not cover terribly well why they would cooperate.  As an interesting tie in at the end of the book there is a section on cat facts which is rather informative (and very amusingly written).  Due to it's somewhat limited scope but amusing read I'd rate this a 7 out of 10.

Sadly this book is out of print* and not available for pdf.  I'd recommend checking Noble Knight as they would have the greatest chance of picking up a used copy.

Up Next: Ravenloft Gazetteer Volume 1.
