ratatatcatgame1Are you ready for a fast and fun game involving strategy, memory and math?  Get your poker face on and steer clear of rats

Decide who goes first and who deals the cards.  Dealer gives each player 4 cards face down and each player gets to peek at 2 of the 4 cards.  During your turn, draw a card and decide if you want to discard or replace one of your cards.  The object of the game is to end up with the lowest score based on the value of the cards.  Will you take a chance on the cards if you don’t know their value?  In addition, a few power cards are included in the deck.  Power cards have special powers such as peek, swap and draw 2.
