How to Play
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!)
As children play Rat-a-tat Cat, they develop a sense of timing and an
understanding of basic, but essential, mathematical concepts. They learn ways to
remember their cards and strategies to figure out what cards other players might
have. They also begin to develop an intuitive sense of probability. Rat-a-tat
Cat requires skill, strategy, and awareness, challenging both young children and
adults.
