Description
It's never too early to develop a good poker face. With
Rat-a-Tat Cat, a poker face is just one of the skills players need to perfect.
As in poker, luck, skill, strategy, and intuition each play a part. Players
are dealt four cards, which are kept face- down, except for a quick peek at
two of them. Each player in turn pulls a card from the draw pile to replace
one of the four. Memory is important, as the object is to end with the lowest
score, and players must keep track of the values on their four cards. "Peek,"
"Swap," and "Draw Two" Power cards turn up occasionally, allowing players to
maneuver and strategize further. Delightfully witty pictures of cats (the good
guys--low points) and rats (bad guys--high points) illustrate each of the 54
cards. Young card sharks will develop a sense of timing and greater ease with
numbers, and can begin to grasp the concept of probability. Winner of
Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Best Toy Award and the 1996 Mensa Best New
Mind Game. For 2 to 6 players. --Emilie Coulter It's never too
