Cobra Paw pieces

The board game industry obviously knows there are A LOT of crazy cat people that also love playing games.  Are you one of them?  Of course you are.  This installment in the blog series about National Game and Puzzle Week proves a quote from Sigmund Freud: “Time spent with cats is never wasted.”

Cobra Paw
Ninja-like reflexes, sharp recognition skills, and mental fortitude steals the game in this tile-snatching challenge!

Taco Cat Goat Cheese Pizza
Are you ready for some hand-slapping mayhem? This is the social card game that is going to change your game night forever, an addictive game as unique as its name. Race against each other to SLAP a match between a card and spoken word. But - watch out! - your mind will play tricks on you.

Wiggle Waggle Whiskers
This is the purrfect strategy game for preschoolers! Based on the classic game 'Dots and Boxes,' two pint-sized players take turns placing fence pieces to create fenced-in yards for their pets. Complete a yard, place your pet inside, and continue play until all of the land is fenced. The player with the most fenced-in yards wins this simple strategy game designed to introduce important spatial reasoning skills.
