The game

Keep the balance on the island

On Nekojima, Japan's “Cat Island”, a power grid is expanding to supply the island's various lively districts. Installing the electric poles is getting more complicated because of the cramped territory and its curious population of cats wandering along the cables.

Nekojima is a wooden dexterity game in which you must keep electric poles balanced while respecting the placement rules, without any cables touching.

In competitive play, the player who topples the structure loses.

In cooperative play, the goal is to get as far as possible without toppling the structure.

The different game variants (Expert, Skyscrapers, Urban Jungle and Duo) bring new ways to play Nekojima and add extra difficulty.

A game that's very easy to learn, for everyone, but rarely finished!

The press is talking about it

If you see it on the table, it's gorgeous, it's so much fun, it's beautiful! I think it'll be my pick of the month, maybe of the year.

Nekojima is more than good, it's brilliant! You tease each other, you tremble, you stress, you laugh, the rules are simple, you can play with anyone and you can chain games back to back.

Nekojima combines the pleasure of top-quality components with a dexterity game that will delight every player who gets caught up in building a mega structure... until the fateful moment when a blasted cat comes along and knocks everything down!

Even if it doesn't necessarily revolutionise the genre, Nekojima is no less an excellent dexterity game, far smarter than you'd imagine at first glance.

It's hilarious and it works every time. The components are superb and the game is also full of little variants and expansions adding plenty of pep and originality to your games.
