Late for the Sky: Cat-Opoly Review + Giveaway
It is not a big secret that I love cats, but what may come as a surprise is that I also love board games.
A couple of years ago, on a rainy day, Jason and I ventured to our local toy store with the intention of purchasing a couple of board games. We wanted something nostalgic, something trivial and a property trading type game. After about an hour looking and comparing the various qualities we ended up with three games, of which we played all of them when we got home that day.
At the time I recall wishing that there was a way to fuse my love of cats and my love of games into one spectacular cat themed game. While my idea was on the mark, somebody beat me to the idea with Late for the Sky’s Cat-Opoly.
The products featured in this post were provided to me free of charge courtesy of Late in the Sky Games. This post may contain affiliate links, but this in no way influences the review to follow.
I was generously sent Late for the Sky’s Cat-Opoly for review.
The best way to explain what the Late for the Sky’s Cat-Opoly game is to say that it is a property trading game with cats as the theme.
The details are nothing short of cat filled and perfect for any fan of cats, from the cat boxes (the homes) and the fish bones (the hotels).
Each property is replaced with a cat breed and the values include each step of financial increase and the back of each deed contains fun facts about cats that are featured on the board. Its the traditional property trading game with some cat-astrophic twists included. Almost every major cat breed is represented in the property cards.
The typical “Chance” and “Community Chest” are replaced with a ball of yarn and “Cat-astrophe” cards and are all cat themed and appropriate.
Even the money is themed towards cats with whiskers on each denomination.
Each token is cat themed and include a milk bottle, mouse, sardines, cat food, fish, ball of yarn. Also the Free Parking becomes Catnip, and Jail becomes Water in this feline filled version.
If you are a feline fan or know a fan of felines, this game is a MUST HAVE!!! This makes the typical property trading game fun for feline lovers and makes the time fly by – before you know it you will own the litter box!
I absolutely LOVED this game and recommend it to all cat fans!
