Skyscratchers is a race to the top of the building. The first player to get all three of their cats into the penthouse wins.

Once you know the rules, a game lasts 20 to 40 minutes, depending on the number of players.

The game has 15 unique action cards, and you can play up to three of them on your turn.

Yes, a lot. You choose which sidewalk tile each new cat enters from, and the rows of magnets are placed differently on the building each game. The Penthouse of Peril expansion adds barking dogs and Snowball the Stray, a mischievous extra cat. Together these make Skyscratchers a very replayable light strategy game.

It gets more chaotic! The more cats on the building, the more bouncing, attacking, blocking, and mayhem there is.
