We’re thrilled to introduce Gatsby – a dazzling new 2-player game from Catch Up Games, designed by the iconic duo Bruno Cathala & Ludovic Maublanc!
Now distributed in Canada by Hachette Boardgames Canada

📦 Item #: CAGGAT01MLV
👥 2 Players | ⏱ 30 minutes | 👶 Ages 10+
📦 6 units per case

We’re thrilled to announce the arrival of Gatsby, a clever and strategic 2-player board game set in the heart of the 1920s. Perfect for ages 10 and up, with quick 30-minute gameplay, Gatsby is an engaging head-to-head game of influence, planning, and outmaneuvering your opponent.
In Gatsby, you play as Dorothy Williams or James Miller, each trying to earn the favor of the elusive and influential Jay Gatsby by gaining control over characters scattered across three glamorous locations:
• The Cabaret
• The Financial Center
• The Racetrack
On your turn, choose an available action space (never one taken by your rival!), and use it to strategically place influence tokens. Each area has unique rules for claiming character tiles — create lines in the Cabaret, race ahead in the Financial District, or dominate the track.
Special bonus spots on the board offer tactical advantages like forcing your opponent’s hand, swapping tokens, or gaining powerful special actions.
Win conditions:
• Control 3 characters of the same color
• OR one of each of the 5 colors
• OR have the most stars if an area runs out of character tiles

💥 Strategic movement, tactical placement, and dazzling twists — this elegant duel will keep players on their toes!
