Hairball! is a quick, playful card game for anyone who loves cats (or a bit of friendly chaos). You race to pile up the biggest hairball while tripping everyone else up, all before that fateful Hairball! card turns up and ends the round. A whole game takes under ten minutes, so one round tends to become several. Full rules are on the How to Play page.
Each base deck plays 2 to 4 players, or up to 6 for a much quicker game. Combine multiple decks and there’s no upper limit... play with as many people as you have cards for.
Usually under 10 minutes. A full game can finish in about 5 minutes (we timed one at 4 minutes, 27 seconds).
A bit of both! It’s not heavy strategy, but it’s far from a pure game of luck... when and how you build your hairball and sabotage your rivals genuinely shapes who comes out on top.
Ages 6 and up.
