Rat Attack (2019)

About this game

Two merchants load their stocks of spices into the warehouse. They try to group their merchandise together as much as possible. Big stocks are very valuable. However, rats also roam the warehouse who see these spices as a tasty snack. Drive the rats out and keep them away from your stocks, otherwise you can close your shop immediately! Place tiles in the playing area and try to create groups of matching spices. Groups score points immediately. Also try to cover the rats of your colour, because if there are too many visible at the end of your turn you immediately lose the game. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
