*NOTICE - I try not to cover games that use AI-generated art. I found out late that the art for this one was created by a real artist, but with some AI tools. Since the video was already done, I didn't want to throw away the whole thing, but I also wanted to let people know.*

About Pack the Essentials, from BoardGameGeek:
Pack the Essentials is a lightweight, abstract strategy game about packing cats in suitcases.
Throughout the game, players work to score as many points as possible by drafting and placing tiles in their suitcase to pack items, cats, and kittens; collect cat toys; and use the friendly neighborhood Pack Rat Service. Players also attempt to complete "To Do" list goals and create the largest sections of each color tile. The game plays over twelve rounds, then the player with the most points wins.
When playing with fewer than four people, players will additionally compete against The Cat Ladies Club, a simple AI opponent that creates the sensation of a four-player game by removing tiles from the draft pool just as other players do.
