Stone Blade Entertainment has announced the September release of You Gotta Be Kitten Me!, a fast-paced casual card game featuring canines and felines dressed up with fashion accessories.  You Gotta Be Kitten Me!, which is designed for players 10 and up, has an MSRP of $9.99, includes 55 cards, a rulebook and one reminder card.  Stone Blade Entertainment, which also produces the popular Ascension Deck-Building Card Game is the most recent licensing deal with Ultra Pro, which is expanding its focus from collector’s supplies to include game and entertainment products (see “Ultra Pro Licenses Stone Blade Games' Titles”).

You Gotta Be Kitten Me! features mechanics reminiscent of Liar’s Dice and those classic card games that involve matching colors and numbers.  The easy-to-learn game starts with players guessing the quantity of accessories or colors in each player’s hand combined.  Accessories worn by the cuddly cats and dogs include hats, glasses and bow ties. As the game progresses, players either raise the card bid or challenge another player. Gamers who bid wrong and are challenged, lose a card and the last remaining player with cards wins the game.
