Read the full game description
Ratjack remixes blackjack as a quick interactive card game full of hidden information and disruptive powers. A deck is assembled from as many twelve-card rodent families as there are players. On each turn, draw a card, then add one face down, play one face up for its ability, or discard to reveal and trigger a hidden card. The visible values in front of you creep toward twenty-five, but crossing that line eliminates you immediately. Card effects flip, discard, modify, and expose the table, letting a well-timed play knock out an opponent or land exactly on the target. Rounds reward survival, precise totals, and successful attacks. Variable deck combinations and constantly shifting face-up information give this small game a lively tactical arc at every player count.
