Gamewright Rat-A-Tat-Cat Multi-colored, 5

I took a chance based on the reviews and bought this for my 7-year-olds birthday gift. An excellent game! My teen enjoys it very much, too. Like most card games, it takes a few rounds to figure out exactly how the rules work and possible strategies. The basic idea is to lay 4 cards in front of you face-down and, through the course of the game, replace them with cards worth fewer points. Low score wins. We play the optional 2 cards face-up and 2 cards face-down version because we learned that while trying to concentrate on the other players moves and your own strategy, it is challenging to remember just 4 cards! It is also nice because you can play one round or multiple rounds. We usually play at least 3 rounds to equalize everyones chances of winning. A short round can last three minutes; long round about seven minutes. Perfect amount of fun/challenge/anticipation for all three of us.

Excellent Product

This game is simpler than many we have, which is a nice change. It’s still fun to play even though it’s simpler. Good for a quicker game or travel too.

We had played this card game at our grandkids house. (They are 4 and 6.) Afterwards I had to order the game for my house, to have for the other kids. We played it New Years Eve party with only adults. Had a blast. It is a fun game that does not require reading and the rules are flexible. I recommend this game to anyone that likes a challenge of chance & memory. The goal of the game is to have the fewest points with Cats and not get caught with the high scoring Rats.. The 4 star score for durability is because it is a card game, they will eventually wear out.

We love this game. SUPER FUN!!! YAY Gamewright.
