Space Cats Fight Fascism is a cooperative game where you play as a band of rebel cats stopping fascists from taking over the galaxy! 2 - 4 players, 45 - 60 minutes. 

It’s the year three million, and the animals of Earth’s past now inhabit the planets of the galaxy in advanced societies. But a rising wave of fascism is sweeping across the galaxy, threatening to throw the Interspecies Galactic Alliance under autocratic rule. To help grow its power, the regime known as The Rat Pack has convinced the powers that be that all cats must be tightly controlled... or forced into feline exile. But everyone knows, cats don’t like to be collared, and they don’t like to be caged.

And so the feline rebellion begins. Together, players can stop these fascist forces from seizing power - while building a new galaxy where all species are free together.


A great game... The game plays fast and the mechanics are tight.

Fight Fascism, Save the Galaxy

The resistance kneads your help! Your collective goal is to liberate the galaxy before the fascist Rat Pack grows too powerful. You'll strategize to liberate one of each type of planet: Whiskers, Tails, Paws, and Ears.

When four planets have become liberated, the fascists are defeated by the Resistance. The animals of the galaxy rejoice!

Well designed game over and above the backdrop and topic. Good balance of chance vs strategy and decision making. Loving it!

Love this game. It keeps the classic cooperative firefighting feel, but the unlockable powers add a lot of replay value.

It's a good time fighting the fascist rats. We need more games like Space Cats Fight Fascism!

I’ve played it with both my game group and my kids and it’s been a hit every time. It’s also genuinely funny, which makes the whole experience even better.

This is a fun game. The main downside is that the galactic news card (the timer on the game) can feel a bit random in how often it progresses. But I like that you can reduce the chances of drawing these cards through the actions on your turn. I'm not sure this will have a permanent place on my shelf (I'm picky), but I plan on playing it a few more times before I decide to keep it or trade it.

Buying this game was my coping mechanism for what's going on in this country. Luckily, it's also REALLY FUN!

M
Marty

I got this game because I was sick of all games that are about fighting wars or exploiting people. And I will say that while it's not great, it is good. The chaos of the dice rolls can be fun but also a bit defeating at times.

J
Jenny

Nice game for all us childless cat ladies!

Excellent game.

The humor lands well, and the game doesn’t drag. It’s perfect for a lively game night.

The theme is funny but otherwise it didn't do anything for me.

Space Cats Fight Fascism delivers a bold theme backed by surprisingly thoughtful mechanics. It’s engaging without being overwhelming. The tug-of-war gameplay against the Rat Pack is really exciting. You can lose planets you've already won to fascism, and then you can re-liberate planets that the fascists overtook.

I've only played this a few times with my significant other so far. But I have a game group that is pretty diverse in their interests. I plan on bringing it to the next game night. Those who only play heavy euros will have no interest in this game, but those who enjoy action point games and co-op games will have a great time I'm sure!

The learning curve and amount of time it takes to play makes this easy to get it to the table.

I loved it!

P

This game is HARD. Luckily, it's also very fun.

L

The theme is a bit heavy handed. The game play doesn't have enough charm to make up for it.

C
Chloe

The game is more challenigng that it seems at first! (But so is fighting fascism!)

J
Juan

I love this game, I received it a week ago and after playing it a few times become one of my favorite, I know it says it’s 2-4 but since is a cooperative game you can play it solo using two cats and still enjoy it, amazing work

The rat pack beat us the first time, which just made us want to play again! So much fun.

Small box that contains a lot of fun

the box says 'hiss truth to power' and I had to buy it

I had a question about the rules and the creator of the game got back to me quickly and helped us out!

C

thank you, great customer service

J

This is a cute-themed cooperative game from an indie publisher. It has both randomness and a dash of engine building. I like that your actions determine how many bad dice you roll each turn, and that you can gain additional powers as the game goes on. The small box is also a nice touch.

S
Scott

It's a nice game but a bit too simple and short, the difficulty levels don't change the gameplay enough

S
Stephen

This is a fun game, not too long (45 minutes or so), and a good one to play in the hellscape of current politics!

K
Kate

This cute, witty cooperative game kept us entertained through some rough times. The humor really landed for us, and the mix of different cats, power cards, dice rolls, and board layouts gives it strong replay value. We even developed strategies that let us consistently beat the toughest difficulty, which made every win feel earned.

R
Ryan

A great Pandemic-style cooperative game where the shifting area control create lots of tension, planning, and teamwork.

D
Dana

Fun and easy in a small box.

we love to bring this game when we visit friends with cats!
