Description
Style:Single 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.

A game of suspense, strategy, and anticipation. 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. Low score wins the game. (A poker face helps!)
