Rrrats! (2011)

About this game

From the publisher's website: May the greediest rat win! Roll the dice and get cheese! Roll the dice and lose cheese! In this family game, it pays off to be both careful and greedy. All players are rats that aim to collect as much cheese as possible. Player rolls the dice, and either gets cheese from the table, from another player, or loses everything. The trick is to stop rolling when you’re still winning. With simple rules and a simple set-up, Rrrats! is an addictive game for the whole family.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 5 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
