A game of suspense, strategy, anticipation and a little luck. The object of the game is to get rid of the high cards (rats) and go for the low cards (cats).
Sneak a peek, draw two, or swap cards for an added twist. Bonus super peek lets you spy on opponents’ cards.
Rat-a-Tat Cat is a fun numbers card game with cats – and a few rats!

- 54 cards
How to play:
On your turn, you either:
- Draw the top card from the discard pile. This card MUST be used to replace one of your cards.
- Draw the top card from the draw pile. A player may use it to:
- Replace one of their cards.
- Peek, swap, or draw 2 if it is a power card.
- Discard it face up to the discard pile.
If you think you have the lowest score, you can end the round by knocking on the table and saying “Rat-a-Tat Cat” at the end of your turn.
The player with the lowest total score at the end of the game is the winner.
