Super Meow is a deck-building game with a static market. Players start with a four-card deck of money cards from which they draw two cards to play every turn. You can use the money to gain more money, to get a rat that lets you steal cards from others, to acquire cat food that you can later use to get the cat (Miaou), or to acquire the cape that the cat can wear as their superhero costume. You can also trash cards, with the exception of one of the starting money cards that also can't be stolen.

The game ends when a player manages to draw both the cat and the cape on the same turn.
