About the game
What you do in a play session
The objective is to be the master of getting rid of rats by pushing them onto other players. When a house becomes overloaded with critters, the residents (meaning, the player who owns the house) get so desperate that they... move out! Player elimination comes into play here, adding a "who can last the longest?" flavor. Hand management provides you with the tools for this rat 'war,' allowing you to plan your actions and decide the best time to pass the buck (or the rats) to the next person. With quick games, around 20 minutes, and an action queue mechanic that makes you think about your next move, the game is perfect for those seeking a light, interactive experience with that "take that" touch that guarantees laughter and friendly taunts. Ideal for introducing younger players to the world of board games, or for anyone who wants a fast and fun game among friends.
