Hammond toys Rat A Tat Cat Card Game
Description
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. 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 From the Manufacturer 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!) Review For 2 to 6 players Includes 54
rat, cat, and power cards Skills: strategy, memory building, basic addition
