A Fun Numbers Card Game
with Cats (and a few rats)
Get rid of the rats and go for the cats! Win by having your cards add
up to the lowest number (a poker face helps). Exchange a card on each
turn, with Peek, Swap, and Draw Two cards adding an extra twist. Cagey
thinkers of all ages will crow with delight over this game of strategy,
memory, and a little luck.
As children play Rat-a-tat Cat, they develop a sense of timing and an
understanding of basic, but essential, mathematical concepts. They learn
ways to remember their cards and strategies to figure out what cards other
players might have. They also begin to develop an intuitive sense of
probability. Rat-a-tat Cat requires skill, strategy, and awareness,
challenging both young children and adults.
