Cat in the Box: Deluxe Edition
Muneyuki Yokouchi · Bezier Games · 2022
A trick-taking game where cards have no suit — you declare the suit when you play each card, marking it on a shared board. Creating a paradox (declaring a suit/number combination that's already been claimed) knocks you out of the round. Schrödinger's Cat as a card game.
