Catch the Moon Mini-Review

Catch the Moon is a fun, tabletop, ladder-stacking game for one to six players. Stack ladders by making them the highest, or only touching one or two — your fate decided with a die. Interlocking asymmetrical ladders and following the die leads to every game feeling very different. Some become a race to the top, while others are stacking every ladder flat from the die saying to only touch one other ladder repeatedly, leading to an unstable mess. Catch the Moon skirts the line between being collaborative and adversarial. Do you try to make something your opponents can't build from, or work to craft something beautiful? This is a game I would pick over Jenga any day.

Pros

• Every game is different, preventing noticeable repetition.

• Game pieces feel well constructed and unique.

• Short setup and play-time leading to quick, fun games.

Cons

• Pieces could break easily if mishandled.
