We know it's not fair to play favorites, but we have to be honest: Rat-a-Tat Cat is the most loved card game from Gamewright. Ever since its debut in 1996, we have been amazed how "Rat" has continually won over new players of all ages. Hopefully, you will agree that the enhancements' brand new art, more power cards, and the addition of a "Super Peek power" make the game even more fun. As always, try to keep a straight face when drawing cards and most importantly stay away from the Rat King!
A game of suspense, strategy, and anticipation. Get rid of the high cards (rats) and go for the low cards (cats). Sneak a peek, draw two, or swap cards for an added twist. Low score wins the game. (A poker face helps!)
As children play Rat-a-tat Cat, they develop a sense of timing and an understanding of basic, but essential, mathematical concepts. They learn ways to remember their cards and strategies to figure out what cards other players might have. They also begin to develop an intuitive sense of probability.
Rat-a-tat Cat requires skill, strategy, and awareness, challenging both young children and adults.
