This is a not so simple trick taking game with eight cards each for two players. It comes in secure tin with a small instruction book. The cards are nestled in a foam cut out, insuring they don’t rattle or take too much abuse inside. The cards have nice thematic illustrations of the two rat clans sparring with each other. You can easily break it out as a 15-20 minute, two person filler game or take it with you while waiting on a flight.

You can teach this in about 1 minute with adults. Children might need an extra minute to catch on. You play one card at a time simultaneously. The highest card wins unless acted on by your foe’s card. Play until four tricks are taken and then you can quickly reset for a rematch. Some variations are suggested in the rule book. For what this is, it’s a 5/5 game.

I love games with low rules overhead that are fun and make you just want to play them over and over. Got this on sale for a ridiculously low price and could not be happier with the purchase.
