About this game

Lead a family of escaped lab rats to prove your worthiness as colony leader. Rats of Wistar is a worker-placement game where your rat workers explore a farm, gather resources, and complete quests to earn prestige. The action-claiming system creates tight competition for the best spots, and the event cards add narrative variety to each game. The quirky theme of intelligent rats building a society on a farm gives the familiar Euro mechanisms a fresh and charming personality.
