Ratcatcher: Rapid Review

Ratcatcher: Rapid Review Information: Mechanics:  Action Points, Exploration, Survival Player Age:  14+ Player Count:  1 Player Time to Play:  30 - 45  Minutes  Game Designer and Artist:   Matthew Aslin Publisher : Platypus Industries Year Published:  2020 Rundown: The town of Brie has discovered a new mystical type of cheese with many magical capabilities; this was deemed ‘Magic Cheese’. There are many special powers this cheese can unlock, which has sadly drawn the attention of all rats, near and far. Ratcatcher is a solo dungeon crawl that has players in pursuit of defeating the Nemesis Rat, or collecting 10 magic cheeses. The inverse is how players lose; via the Ratcatcher having no life or the rats collect 10 magic cheeses.  Each round the ratcatcher will have a turn followed by the rat's turn. If there is less than two magic cheese on the map on either the ratcatcher or rat’s turn, the city will be expanded (more on this later). Ratcatcher Turn: On the ratcatcher's turn
