If you enjoy word games that get players giggling, thinking creativity, and sparks just a little friendly debate, you’ll love Categories, our brand-new feline-inspired word game.
Launched at the UK Games Expo, Categories quickly became a crowd favourite, bringing players together over hilarious word combinations and imaginative thinking.
How Does It Work?
Categories is all about creating words from letter tiles that match the themes on Category cards. Sounds simple? Think again!As players race to come up with answers, things get wonderfully inventive. Expect unexpected word choices, clever connections, and plenty of moments where you’ll need to justify your thinking!
A Playful Feline Twist
Originally designed by Jim Williams, with help from Iris Bierlein, Paul Campbell, and Richard Williams, Categories combines classic wordplay with a playful cat-themed twist.
The game is beautifully illustrated by Katie Abey, whose distinctive and quirky style adds a joyful charm to every card and tile.
"Seeing Categories on the shelves for the first time was an absolute dream come true. But seeing people queue up to play it and posing for photos with it - that was just completely beyond anything I could have dreamt of. Gibsons have done an amazing job bringing the game to life. After hundreds of playtests, four years of development, and the help of nearly two hundred named playtesters, I'm overjoyed to know that the game will be out there in the world. I hope it brings a bit of well-deserved silliness to other people's lives, as it has for me and my friends." Jim Williams
