About the game
Imagine being a merchant trying to organize your spice stock in the middle of a chaotic warehouse. The goal seems simple: group as many identical goods as possible to ensure massive profits and high scores. But there's a catch... the warehouse isn't just yours! There's a gang of hungry rats roaming everywhere, eyeing those delicious spices. In Rat Attack, you need to be quick and strategic to arrange your tiles so that groups of spices generate immediate points. But you can't just focus on your profit; you must watch your opponents and the rats themselves. If you leave too many rats of your color visible at the end of your turn, the loss is immediate and your shop shuts down instantly! It's a game of pure mental agility and positioning, where you need to build patterns of colors and spice types while trying to hide the rats trying to steal your business. It's a frantic two-player duel, where a single positioning error can cost you your entire commercial reputation. If you enjoy fast-paced games with that 'lose it all in a second' tension and layering mechanics, get ready for this infestation of fun!
