    I took a chance based on the reviews and bought this for my 7-year-olds birthday gift. An excellent game! My teen enjoys it very much, too. Like most card games, it takes a few rounds to figure out exactly how the rules work and possible strategies. The basic idea is to lay 4 cards in front of you face-down and, through the course of the game, replace them with cards worth fewer points. Low score wins. We play the optional 2 cards face-up and 2 cards face-down version because we learned that while trying to concentrate on the other players moves and your own strategy, it is challenging to remember just 4 cards! It is also nice because you can play one round or multiple rounds. We usually play at least 3 rounds to equalize everyones chances of winning. A short round can last three minutes; long round about seven minutes. Perfect amount of fun/challenge/anticipation for all three of us.

    I gave this game to my grandson for his seventh birthday and the entire family enjoyed playing it over and over again. It didnt take long to learn the rules and they loved yelling Rat-A-Tat-Cat when they felt they had a winning hand.

    My six year old is completely obsessed with this game! We received one as a gift last year for her birthday, and we had to buy a replacement because we played it so much. It’s fun for adults and children both, and with the child modification children have a real chance to win!

    This is a great card game for the whole family. Children learn to memorize, think strategically and develop math skills while playing a game that parents can enjoy too!

    This is a fun game for both the children and adults. It has helped our daughter with her addition skills and with good sportsmanship. We highly recommend this game.

    Fun for kids. Teaches strategy while learning to add number and probability concepts. Highly recommend.

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
