In Kyoto no Neko, 2 to 4 players are kittens who explore the modern-day city of Kyoto, Japan through a series of independent, replayable scenarios. In each scenario, players must fulfill a variety of missions that represent typical cat activities, from befriending a school boy to fighting an aggressive stray cat, or stealing the food from other player's dinner bowl. During each game, every player will evolve, developing their skills and gaining the ability to explore new parts of the map by climbing on bushes and rooftops.
Using a system of skills, Kyoto no Neko will see each player interact with some of Kyoto's inhabitants, both animal and human. Each turn provides the opportunity to uncover something new about the city as players will reveal elements from little insects to specific objects or denizens of Kyoto. While some of these elements are represented by cardboard tiles, others come as standees, ensuring a stunning visual presence.
