Nejšťastnější kočka na světě (The Happiest Cat in the World CZ)

Nejšťastnější kočka na světě (The Happiest Cat in the World) will test whether you can fulfil your cat’s every wish and make her the happiest in the world.

Every cat has its own idea of the perfect home. Some want a cosy bed, others a sunny windowsill or a bowl full of treats. In Nejšťastnější kočka na světě, you’ll create, step by step, a place your four-legged companion will always be happy to return to – and where her contentment will be your greatest reward.

Nejšťastnější kočka na světě is a family strategy game for anyone who enjoys well-designed board games with simple rules and a charming theme. It is designed for 2–4 players, the recommended age is 8 years and over, and you should set aside around 30 minutes for each game. Thanks to its brisk pace, it will be enjoyed by families with children, casual players and experienced board gamers alike who are looking for a more laid-back game with plenty of scope for tactical decision-making. Each game offers different scoring opportunities, so you’ll be happy to come back to it again and again.

Every cat owner knows full well that a happy cat is not a given. One moment it needs a new bed, the next a spot to observe its surroundings, and another time a bowl full of treats. This is precisely what you’ll be focusing on throughout the game. You’ll gradually expand your flat with new furnishings and strive to create an environment that perfectly matches your furry companion’s expectations. Only a truly contented cat will earn you enough ‘happiness’ points to help you beat the other players.

However, it’s not enough simply to fill empty spaces with more pieces. Every bed, shelf, bowl or toy has its own scoring system, and it matters where you place it and how it fits in with the furnishings you already have in your flat. What’s more, during the game your cat moves between different spots and regularly checks that everything is set up exactly as she likes it. A well-planned route can earn you valuable points, whilst a hasty decision will cost you a favourable combination.

A major strength of the game is the multitude of ways in which individual elements can be linked together. Correctly formed colour sequences trigger ‘cat combos’, allowing you to place additional pieces in a single turn and expand your flat much more quickly. Added to this are the varying scoring objectives, which favour different strategies in every game. Sometimes it pays to build a network of shelves, other times to place bed baskets or plan the cats’ movements. Nevertheless, the game remains clear and fast-paced, so you can focus primarily on the joy of building the perfect cat home.

• Each game tells a different story about how a home gradually takes shape, one in which your cat feels truly content, and no two games will therefore be the same.
• Simple rules mean you can start playing within minutes, whilst the multitude of combinations offers plenty of scope for ever-improving tactical decision-making.
• The changing scoring objectives alter the value of individual strategies, so the game naturally encourages you to try new approaches.
• Building your own flat brings a pleasant sense of gradual progress, as with every move a cosier and more sophisticated cat kingdom takes shape.
• Cat combos reward thoughtful planning and can turn a well-prepared strategy into a big score with a single move.
• The theme isn’t just a backdrop, but permeates the entire game – every decision makes sense and beautifully mirrors how real cats choose their favourite spots.
• You gradually upgrade your own draw pile during the game, so you decide for yourself what items your cat will discover in the following rounds.
• Thanks to the short playing time, you can easily play several games in one evening and try out a different strategy each time.
• The cute illustrations and high-quality production make the game not only an enjoyable experience but also a title that will look great on any table.
• The Happiest Cat in the World offers exactly the sort of family strategy game you’ll love coming back to, as every game brings new ideas, different combinations and yet another reason to make your cat even happier.

Behind Nejšťastnější kočka na světě – originally published by the Polish publisher Rebel – are French game designers Olivier Cipière and Oussama Khelifati, who have combined the building of your own playing area with deck-building elements to create an accessible family strategy game. Their aim was to create a game that offers plenty of tactical decisions whilst maintaining a brisk pace and simple rules. They drew inspiration from the everyday lives of domestic cats and their often very specific ideas about the perfect home.

The game’s visual design was created by Polish illustrator Bartłomiej Kordowski, whose illustrations give each tile its own distinctive character and lend the whole game a pleasant, playful atmosphere.
