User summary: 猫町商會 (Cat Traders) is a psychological strategy game in which players try to detect crooked merchants by exchanging transaction cards with other merchants (opponents) using 8 gold-coin cards.

If a player detects that a merchant has submitted a transaction card with a lower value than the gold-coin card (crooked merchant), he will acquire the transaction card and also impose a penalty on his opponent. If he fails to detect this and passes the obtained card to his opponent, he will incur a penalty himself.

The person with the highest number of total points on obtained transaction cards when the game is over will be the winner.

The game was prototyped in 2007 and first published in 2010.
