Our take on Cats & Dice

The game concentrates its design on score-building synergies, so it gives up direct combat and exploration in favor of repeated runs built around dice, cats, items, and numerical targets.

What is Cats & Dice?

Cats & Dice is a roguelike dice-building game structured around rounds with rising target scores.

Each cat has a passive ability and produces a cat-specific die at the start of every round. Players use those dice to reach the required score, with rerolls available for selected dice. Items can modify cat abilities or add effects to their dice, and can be exchanged during a run. The game includes more than 90 cats, 150 items, over 15 scoring bonuses based on dice combinations, and a Boon/Bane choice system with benefits and drawbacks. Tickets can provide permanent run benefits. Passing the final stage unlocks an endless mode for extending a build.

How Cats & Dice plays

01Cat abilities: Each cat has a passive effect and creates a die associated with that cat at the beginning of every round.
02Customizable items: Items can change passive abilities or add effects to a cat's dice, and can be swapped during a run.
03Dice rerolls: A limited number of rerolls per round can be used on individual dice.
04Boon and Bane choices: Some decisions offer advantages alongside disadvantages, requiring a trade-off during a run.
05Endless mode: Clearing the final stage opens a mode where the build can continue against further scoring challenges.
