Jacob F. ★★★★★

Played this with three friends who all have cats and we spent the whole game arguing about who packed the essentials correctly. The rule about never forgetting your cats is genuinely funny and the cards keep every round tense. Easy to teach too, we were playing within ten minutes.

Michael M. ★★★★★

Packing for a trip has never been this funny — the twist where you're actually packing cats instead of clothes had my whole family laughing. The cards are sturdy and the rules only take about five minutes to learn, so we were playing within minutes of opening the box.

Zoe ★★★★★

The premise is so spot-on for anyone who’s ever tried to suitcase with a cat supervising—we laughed the whole first round. Setup was quick and the traveler role cards kept everyone engaged even between turns. Already planning another game night just to play it again.
