Tilcayo Cats Original: editorial record

Local assessment: Start-Class. This is an initial Tilcayo editorial assessment, not a Wikipedia award or an independent audit.

Start-Class: original account of identity, setting, principal mechanisms and a specifically attributed critical discussion. Rulebook directly inspected; basic year, designer, publisher and player count checked against the indexed BoardGameGeek catalogue record. The catalogue could not be opened directly in this session; these metadata also agree with separately inspected search records from GameFAQs and Luding, not treated as independent critical reviews. The rulebook is evidence of game rules, not authority for historical claims about colonialism. Barnes is one critic, not evidence of a reception consensus. Broader development history and critical coverage are unreviewed, so no B-Class claim. No review scores, recommendation, commercial links, images or copied publisher description. Designer, critic and publisher are plain mentions; no living-person or organisation page or structural exception created.

Original prose written from inspected references; sources reviewed on 9 October 2026. Wikipedia's requested-articles list supplied research leads, not article prose. No claim that the literature is exhausted.
