Cat Scratch is a card game for two to four players. The goal of the game is to be the first player to get rid of all of their cards by playing them on a central pile. The game is played with a standard deck of 52 cards, and each player is dealt a hand of seven cards.
To start the game, the player to the left of the dealer draws a card from the deck and places it face up on the table. This card starts the central pile. The next player must then play a card from their hand that matches the suit or rank of the card on the top of the pile. If they cannot play a card, they must draw a card from the deck and add it to their hand.
