About this game

Rat-a-Tat Cat wants you to forget your own cards, which is exactly the trick. Four cards sit face down in front of you, you peek at just two at the start, and every turn after that is spent gambling on swaps, spying on rivals or drawing a fresh unknown. Special cards let you peek deeper or swap blind with an opponent, and once someone calls the title out loud everyone reveals at once. Lowest total wins the round, but your own memory of your own cards is never quite as reliable as you think.
