Kotostrofa  is a real treat for cat lovers, but not only - funny illustrations with which it is attached crumble even the hardest hearts! It is a dynamic card game for 3-5 players aged 7 years and over , in which our task will be to get rid of cards from your hand as quickly as possible.   

However, it is not that simple - cards can only be discarded in pairs: by color or number.
If we decide on the first option, nothing special happens, but the second one starts combining - depending on the numbers on the cards and our decision, another special effect is activated, which brings us additional profits - most often related to getting rid of cards faster , but sometimes they also make it difficult for others to play.

In basic mechanics, and also thanks to the presence of a mysterious cat -  Kotrus , who does not have his pair in the deck - the game resembles the card game Piotruś, known from childhood.
However, it is not exactly the same.
 
Kotostrophy , thanks to the introduction of special effects for discarded pairs (and in the case of some, these are two effects from which we can choose), includes an element of planning and allows the player to have some control over his own situation.

At the same time, it absolutely does not take away the charm of the game and does not diminish the fun of the game!
