Welcome to the charming (and somewhat chaotic) town of Hameln in the 13th century! Here, life goes on: townsfolk build houses, have children, get married, and try to earn an honest living, always keeping an eye on their neighbors. But, oh dear, a plague of rats has invaded the town! With every new rat that appears, food dwindles and romance cools. Where is that Pied Piper fellow when you need him?

In Hameln, you'll manage your small community, trying to prosper amidst the chaos. Build houses, increase your influence, and accumulate wealth. But beware! The arrival of the Pied Piper can be a double-edged sword. He might solve the rat problem, but his services come at a price, and his talents go beyond simply charming rodents. Losing your children to the Piper is a terrible deal and costs precious points. The game features an interesting variable phase order mechanic, which changes the dynamics each round. It's a game with a touch of humor, ideal for those who enjoy unique themes and a bit of light strategy, lasting about an hour. Get ready to deal with rats, build your town, and perhaps even strike a deal with the Piper!
