What is Rat King?
Take on ever-shifting roles
New role cards are dealt each round, meaning players get to experience multiple roles in each game.
Use Action cards to peek at cards in the offering or inspect other players’ hands.
Turncoat cards throw chaos into the mix. Your role couldchange at any time. Either embrace this new role or find a way to give the Turncoat to another player.
In Rat King, you’ll compete to dethrone or defend the tyrannical Rat King. You must either hide your identity as a Conspirator, sniff out schemes as a Loyalist, or execute suspicious players as the Rat King himself.
Wrestle for power in the Offering
The Offering is where the fate of the Rat King is decided, filling with face-down cards as the round progresses.
Conspirators must try to place Blades without being noticed, and Loyalists must place down Shields to defend the King.
When the final card is placed in the Offering, all cards are revealed. If there are any Blades that aren’t blocked by a Shield, the Conspirators win!
Compete over fast-paced rounds
Rat King is played over multiple rounds, each providing its own challenge as new role cards are dealt out.
Members of the winning faction receive a victory token at the end of the round. The first to four tokens wins.
Minimal player elimination means players are never left out for long.
