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

My grandkids and I love this game! We added “Oh, you dirty rat.” Whenever one is flipped.

My littles love this game and I have fun playing it with them too. It is a win win around here. So quick to learn but with enough strategy/luck to keep us coming back for more.

Gave this to my grandchildren. The kids from 5 and up are loving it. I find it fun also.

Fun. Easy to play.

Bought this for my grandchildren last year and they are still loving it!! Ages 7-10, but adults enjoy playing along with them.

We were snowbound this winter break and only had tv and this game. To my surprise, despite 250 channels, the TV stayed off and this game won most of the time for six kids aged 14, 13, 12, 10, 7 and 5. Really a lot of fun. The nice thing is that there is no reading required, so the 5 year old could play, but the skill level and memory aspects made it fun for everyone.

This game is a ton of fun for adults and kids. Perfect balance of strategy and chance. Individual hands take only minutes, but keep a running score to make it take as long as you want. I would highly suggest that you try playing with the simpler rules where you have 2 of your 4 cards exposed. Why? Well it easier for the kids and, ahem, the adults to remember their 4 cards as they eventually see them. Even better is that since the hand can be ended at any time, seeing 2 of someones cards gives you the strategy of trying to really stick it to someone if they have two 9s and are in the lead (you want a low score) even if your own score isnt super-low. Also, we allow the swap card to have no rules: any of your cards for any of theirs and its fun handing someone a 9 for their 0 or a card you havent even gotten to see yet for a 2 only to see you gave your opponent a zero later. Cards are cute and seem well made after moderate use. This game would be fun for adults too if you like playing rummy, hearts, pitch which it feels somewhat similar to.

I am a big fan of the Gamewright games. I have been working with kids for 20+ years and games can be a great teaching tool. This is a great game for strategy and memory. Every child I have introduced it to, has loved it. Also a relatively quick game which can be great for filling small gaps of time. It doesnt require a lot of space at all so its perfect for waiting at the doctors office or long car rides!

This is a very entertaining game. Ive bought it for both of my grandchildren and we all love it!!

great fun
