Pete's Expert Summary
Hmph. My human has presented me with this… box. It’s from a brand called “Skillmatics,” which already sounds exhausting, like one of those documentaries about birds that she insists on watching. From what I can gather through observation and the incessant babbling of the humans, it’s a game involving flat, papery squares with cartoon figures on them. They ask each other tedious questions to guess which character it is. The whole affair seems designed to generate high-pitched noises and frantic hand gestures, thoroughly disrupting the serene atmosphere required for my deep, intellectual naps. While the tiny cards might offer a fleeting moment of fun if batted under the sofa, the "gameplay" itself is a pointless expenditure of energy that could be better spent admiring me. The only "skill" I see being built here is the skill of annoying a cat.

A Tale from Pete the Cat
The peace of the evening was shattered by the crinkle of plastic wrap, a sound that promises either a new source of inferior kibble or, as was the case tonight, a new source of irritation. The humans, my primary staff member and two of her louder friends, huddled around the coffee table, spilling the contents of a small, garishly blue box. Out came flimsy cards and a cheap-looking plastic stand. I watched from the majestic height of the mantelpiece, my tail giving a slow, deliberate thump of disapproval. They were setting up a ritual, their faces alight with a simple-minded glee that I, a being of profound sophistication, could never share. The game, if one could call it that, began. It was a cacophony of questions, a relentless interrogation of the air itself. "Does the character live under the sea?" "Is their best friend an animal?" The sheer audacity. *I* am an animal, and I am no one's "best friend." I am a benevolent overlord. One of the humans placed a card in the little stand. It depicted a young woman with an absurd amount of hair, staring wistfully at the ceiling. They called her "Rapunzel." She remained there for several rounds, a silent, papery monument to their collective ineptitude, positioned tantalizingly close to the table's edge. My patience, already thinner than a sliver of deli-style turkey, finally snapped. As the human whose voice was most like a squeaky toy leaned in to ask yet another foolish question, I saw my opening. I did not leap or scramble; that would be undignified. Instead, I flowed from the mantelpiece to the back of the sofa, and from there, onto the coffee table in a single, silent movement that was pure liquid grace. My arrival went unnoticed for a crucial second, their attention fixated on a Clue Card. It was all the time I needed. With a deliberate flick of my white-tipped paw, I hooked the plastic stand and sent it, and its long-haired occupant, flying. The card fluttered beautifully, describing a perfect arc before landing face-up on the rug. The humans gasped. I calmly stepped down, placed my paw directly on Rapunzel's face, and began meticulously grooming my shoulder, a clear signal that the game was over and the true prize had been claimed. They could have their tedious questions and their cheap plastic. I had determined the only correct way to play: sudden, decisive victory. The toy, I concluded with a yawn, was a bore, but its pieces could be repurposed for my far superior games of conquest and gravity.
