WHY PLAYERS LOVE IT
- Unlike other card game apps drowning in ads Cat & Mouse respects your time. No energy systems, no subscriptions. Just a simply crafted card game that's fair, fun, and challenging.
- The AI opponent uses a transparent fairness system: it can only see what a human opponent would see. Difficulty is tuned through strategy quality, not card advantage. After each game, you can reveal the bot's hand to verify for yourself.
