Spit & Slam: Cat Speed Cards

The cat's asleep. The cards are dealt. Ready... GO! Fifteen levels, five speeds, and a cat that gets sharper every time you beat it.

The cat's asleep. The cards are dealt. Ready... GO!

Spit: Cat & Mouse is a real-time card game where you race a scheming Cat to empty your piles first. No turns. No waiting. Both of you play at once, matching cards by rank as fast as your paws allow. It's the classic card game Spit — also called Speed or Slam — reborn as a cat-and-mouse chase.

REAL-TIME, NO TURNS You and the Cat play at the same time. Spot a match, drop it, keep moving. Get stuck and you both Spit: two fresh cards flip onto the centre lanes and the race restarts.

A STORY IN FIVE WORLDS Fifteen levels along one winding road, from the Kitchen through the Back Alley, the Attic and the City Rooftops to the Big Cheese Factory. Clear every level in a world and the next opens, each one guarded by a tougher cat than the last. Every level also earns you 1-3 stars, if a clean sweep is what you're after.

A NEW RULE AS YOU GO The rules keep shifting. An open middle lane either of you can start with any card. Wild joker cheese that plays on anything, then becomes the rank above or below. Freeze cheese that locks the Cat's piles for a few seconds. And No Wrap, where a King no longer plays onto an Ace and the ends of the deck turn into dead ends.

QUICK PLAY: PICK YOUR SPEED One dial, five steps: Gentle, Steady, Brisk, Fast, Ruthless. Gentle is open from the first tap; beat a Story cat of a faster band and that speed unlocks on the dial for keeps. The Cat you face is the one that speed deserves, from a fumbling Kitten to the Ruthless Tom who never makes a mistake.

RACE THE CLOCK Every speed keeps its own leaderboard, ranked on time alone. Beat the Gentle board and the Ruthless board is still waiting.

PLAY ANYWHERE Fully offline against the Cat. Quick rounds, made for a short break. Contains ads.

If you like Speed, Slam, Nertz, Pounce, Dutch Blitz or Solitaire, you'll be at home here — with whiskers.

Can you out-race the Cat?
