Battle Cats (Ashcan Release)

Far from human eyes, a world of its own grows and shifts....

Eyes flash in the darkness, alliances are forged, and lives are lived in service to a code- This is the world of Battle Cats.

Inspired by works like Warrior Cats, Mouse Guard, and Watership Down, Battle Cats is a game in which players work together to tell stories of heroism and interpersonal drama through the eyes of feral cats.

Battle Cats features:

• Processes for collaborative world-building
• A simple d6 dice pool "bid" system 
• Evocative and character-defining alignment system
  
• Fast paced fights
• 20+ unique life paths with character-driving abilities to mix and match from
• A unique play structure dividing scenes into Chapters within a larger Story
• Relationship mechanics that escalate tension as stories unfold
