Renegade Game Studios has announced the upcoming release of three family games slated to arrive in early 2016: Kitty Paws, Bullfrogs, and Apotheca. Alright, alright, the last title IS for ages 13 and up but it still looks fairly friendly for the entire household.
From Renegade Games:
We are pleased to announce 3 new games for release in early 2016.
What happens when seven cats run into cardboard boxes? Well, a crazy game of kitty hide-and-seek!
Kitty Paw is a dexterity and reaction game. Players try to be the first to complete the kitty combinations shown on the Kitty cards to score victory points (VP). The player with the most VP in the end wins. Each player gets one Kitty card in each round and tries to be the first to create the patterns shown on the cards. Since this is a recognize-and-react game, all players act simultaneously.
- Number of Players: 1 – 4
- For Ages: 6 and up
- Playing Time: 15 – 30 minute
- MSRP: $20
Kitty Paw Contents Summary:
- 28 Kitty tiles (four each in seven kitty types)
- 4 box cards
- 8 cat box cards
- 48 Kitty cards

Renegade will also be partnering with designer Aza Chen on two more games in 2016. Look for more details to be announced at the GAMA Trade Show in March.
Clans Clash, water splashes and the booming croaks of bullfrogs ring out across the moonlit pond…

Each opponent battles for lily pads by deploying, sabotaging and jumping frogs on an ever-changing pond of lily pads. On a turn, players play a card, take actions and engage in amphibian hi-jinks!
- Number of Players: 2 – 4
- For Ages: 8 and up
- Playing Time: 20-40 minutes
