We were looking for a quick game that we could play on game nights between longer sessions. This fits in just perfectly. The game has very simple rules (the lowest score wins), and it is player ended (first person that believes they have the lowest score, says "Rat a tat cat" and brings the game to it's final round). It goes by quick. A game can last anywhere from 60 seconds to a couple of minutes, especially once you get the rules down, cards are flying. Everyone seems to enjoy it too, all age groups, and the strategy and counting aspect is simple enough that my 5 year old can play without assistance, and often beats the adults!
The game itself is just cards, in a much larger, sturdy cardboard box. If you have other Gamewright card games, it's the same kind of box you get with Sleeping Queens, Zeus on the Loose, etc. The game itself doesn't take much space (four cards for each person on the table at a time, plus a draw deck and a discard pile - that's it) so this makes a good game to take with you on vacations, traveling or while visiting friends. The rules are simple enough to explain and lure others into a game as well.
The only two complaints are very small... First is the "6" card. It has a giant green cat balloon being lead by small rats. It is indeed a "Rat" card and not a desirable "cat" card despite the cat being depicted as the focus. Also the "4" is very slim and stylized and looks like a "1". Have had confusion over a younger player and an elderly player believing they had a "1" when it was really a "4". Do these little things ruin the game? Absolutely not, but it is something you might want to point out to those new to the game.
Also don't expect lengthy game sessions. Rat-a-Tat-Cat is fun for the fast paced, quick card game that it is. It's not nearly as popular with my kids as "Horse Show" or "Sleeping Queens" but they always demand to play it in between games, and that says a lot.
