Chatpentiers

Chatpentiers – Cat carpenters building castles, one trick at a time!

Chatpentiers is a family trick-taking card game for 3 to 5 players, published by Musoka Studio in Paris. Designed by Yozaemon and Fukutarou, it plays in 20 to 30 minutes from age 8.

In feudal Japan, a team of cat carpenters is building castles. Follow the colour, then your rank in the trick decides how many cards you place on the building sites: winning the trick is not always the best move. Fill the castle plans, but never go over the limit.
