Watch “Sanctuary: The Game of Cat Rescue - DT Preview with Mark Streed,” a board game review for Sanctuary: The Game of Cat Rescue on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by The Dice Tower on YouTube:

CATS. They’re adorable, they’re playful, they’re our little fur babies. And now you get to rescue them! Players take charge of sanctuaries, gathering resources and taking cats out of the city shelter. They then match those adorable pets with adopters who are searching for their unique traits. The rescuers who find the most homes for cats, and who achieve other goals, will win the game. But be careful not to let the city shelter fill up beyond capacity, or everyone loses. 0:35 Overview 1:40 Game play... 3:09 Upkeep 4:14 In summary Kickstarter: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/bandwagongames/sanctuary-4 BGG: https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/449160/sanctuary-the-game-of-cat-rescue Check out Great Tables, Games, & Bags at: https://www.allplay.com Support the Dice Tower on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/DiceTower For the best selection of games to inspire fun and meaningful time together, check out BoardGameBliss: https://www.boardgamebliss.com?sca_ref=7335244.G9P3mZoBbnAp1TCe Find Conventions, Merchandise, and Connect With Us: https://linktr.ee/dicetower Dice Tower Amazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/thedicetower As an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases.

About Sanctuary: The Game of Cat Rescue, from BoardGameGeek:

CATS. They're adorable, they're playful, they're our little fur babies. And now you get to rescue them! Players take charge of sanctuaries, gathering resources and taking cats out of the city shelter. They then match those adorable pets with adopters who are searching for their unique traits. A turn consists of three phases. In the first phase, each player first taking three actions. These actions include pulling cats from the city shelter, drawing more goals or subsidies cards, gathering food to feed the cats, building out their sanctuaries, etc. In the second phase, each player tries to adopt up to two cats to adopters. Each adopter has an adoption number which must be reached. The player rolls a d4 and adds the cat's adoption bonus, as well as +1 for every trait symbol it has which matches a trait symbol the adopter has. If the total is the adoption number or higher, the adoption succeeds and the player gains victory points. In the third phase, the players check to see if the city shelter is overcrowded and any cats inside are put down, they can trade cats among each other, they feed their cats, and they roll to see how many more cats go into the city shelter and how many more adopters are drawn. The game continues for 4-6 turns, depending on the number of players. At the end of the last turn, players see who has accomplished several achievements. The rescuers who find the most homes for cats, and who achieve other goals, will win the game. But if city shelter fills up beyond capacity, everyone loses. -description from the publisher
