Description

Europe, 1347. A disaster is about to strike. The Black Death reaches Europe, and during the next
4 - 5 years, the population of Europe will be halved. The players settle in the various regions of Europe, while the plague spreads throughout all of the continent. The players gain help from the various classes of the middle ages: The Peasants provide population growth, the wise Monks
keep the rats away, the rich Merchants flee when the plague approaches, the warfare conducted by the Knights spreads the plague to new areas, the Witches control the spread through magic and witchcraft, whereas the Kings avoid the plague by staying in their fortified palaces. But the plague does not make any distinction: When the rats arrive, no one can feel safe. When the plague withdraws and the game ends, the player with the highest surviving population wins.

• strategic familygame with short playing time;
• continuous interaction between players through
takeover of classcards;
• beautiful gamematerial with easy to understand
icons;
• first expansion “Pied Piper” available: new
classcards with new characters for even more
variation.

Others about Rattus

"Rattus can be played quickly, downtime is minimal, the game contains interesting decisions and planning, plus it can have some very humourous moments when a particular plague disc is just the right one to wipe out loads of population cubes (so long as they’re not your cubes).  Really enjoyable [...]. - James, Metagames

"Dit leuke pestspelletje biedt in 15-30 minuten voldoende speelplezier." - Erwin Broens, Bordspel.com

"Ein ungewöhnliches Spielthema wurde hier prima in ein kleines, leicht strategisches Spiel verpackt. Spieldauer und Spieltiefe eignen sich hervorragend um für kurze Zeit, immer wieder aufs Neue, gut unterhalten zu werden." 5 out of 6 - Auszeit - Die Brettspieloase

"Ook heel leuk voor twee spelers. Door zijn eenvoud en korte speeltijd, is Rattus een ideaal tussendoortje." - SpelInZicht
