About Cat Sudoku: Summer Festival, from BoardGameGeek:

The core objective of Summer Festival revolves around the classic Sudoku challenge, but with a colorful twist and additional strategic elements to enhance gameplay. Summer Festival is an engaging Cat Sudoku card game. The main goal is to place numbered and colored cards on a 3x3 grid, ensuring that each number and color is unique within its respective row and column. Additionally, players strive to strategically place cards in their designated area to collect reserve tokens and accumulate points. When the game ends, players will score points based on the number of cards played in their score zone minus unplaced reserve cards that are still in their player area. The player who scores the highest points wins the game. In case of a tie, the player who has the most reserve tokens wins. In case of another tie, players share the win. -description from the designer
