We are happy to present you Ratland, a game by Eduardo Garcia, for 2-4 players, that lasts around 30-45 minutes, published by Eclipse Editorial. 

Here you can purchase the English/Spanish KS Edition of the game!

Think like a rat, act like a rat. BE A RAT! Manage and multiply your clan of rats and become master of the sewers. Scout the dangerous areas outside for food or snatch it from your neighbors. But be careful, they’ll try to do the same!

RatLand is a fun, light-hearted family game where players will try to make their clan of rats the most numerous in the sewers. But first you must gather enough food (cheese) to feed your rats…

Other clans will try to steal your food or beat you to the three areas where food can be found: the dump, the city, and the field.

The fight of survival is fierce in the damp sewers of RatLand. Many rats put their lives at risk by going outside to search for food. Others, less bold, go through the winding dark pipe system to steal cheese from their oblivious neighbors’ pantries; while the most cautious rats stay in the nursery to fulfill the most important role: increase the clan’s population.

• Board game for 2-4 players (2-6 with Stretch Goals)
• Game length around 30-45 min
• Ages 8 and up
• Simultaneous gameplay
• Hidden action programming
• Push-your-luck mechanism 

RatLand is a fun strategy board game where players have to make choices depending on what they think the other players are thinking while also trying to fool and divert them away from their true intentions. To achieve victory, multiply your rat's population but make sure you have the necessary cheese to feed them each turn. A turn is played over the following PHASES:

And how many turns does a game take?

This is another highlight of RatLand’s design: the game ends after revealing the Game End Event card, a.k.a. “That’s All Folks!”. At that point, a final scoring takes place: all surviving rats award positive points while rats that died of starvation give negative points.

Shipments





This project is US-Friendly, EU-Friendly, Australia-Friendly, and Canada-Friendly, and therefore no additional charges or fees will apply due to taxes or customs. Since the dimensions and weight of the final boxes may slightly change, the shipping costs will be calculated during the pledge manager where we will try to adjust it as much as possible. Below you can see approximate shipping prices that will be confirmed in due time. Requesting a reimbursement for your pledge once the campaign has finished will incur fees and expenses.

Note: We strongly suggest that you specify a telephone number in your profile. This helps a lot with the game delivery. We will use the address specified in your GS account profile at the moment of shipping: this means you can change it as you wish until that date, as we will use the last address provided.
