RATJACK: The essence of blackjack with modern twists and player interaction.

Post by DrClick »

Welcome to the Ratcity Casino! Here, rats, weasels and rodents of all kinds gather to play Ratjack. Paws are sweaty, whiskers are quivering, the cards are dealt...it's your turn to play.
Each deck in Ratjack has twelve cards with values from 1 to 12, each with a special ability. A central draw pile is created by shuffling together as many decks as the number of players. Players start with a card face down in front of them and a single card in hand. On their turn, they draw a single card from the central deck, then:
  • Play a card face down in front of them,
  • Play a card face up in front of them and activate its ability, or
  • Discard a card to flip over one of their face-down cards and activate its ability.
At any point in the game, a player with more than 25 in value in front of them is taken out. Card abilities are interactive effects that allow players to manipulate cards and their value. Players earn points by taking out their opponents- try to be the last player standing or reach 25 exactly!

We would love to thank the team from Studio H and the game designers Mathieu Can & Maxime Mercier, the game designers, for their authorization to bring the game to the platform.
Let's also celebrate the fantastic work done by Galeelox who developed this title on Board Game Arena!

That's it for today,
Have a wonderful week, and see you on Wednesday for more games!
As always, take care and play fair...

Hey, thank you very much for releasing this game here. But might there be a failure in the game release? I have the lose effect-token on one hidden card and if I try to flip the card by discarding another one I get the massage "The card can't be activated". Which is of course so, but it should still be available to turn it upside without effect, shouldn't it?
PS: I had a raccoon 7 and no other card than this 7 hidden, my opponent had at least one card upside down.
