Well, my five year old loves this game, and we've played it almost every day since I bought it. He's beat me several times too! This is really a simple card trading game based on trading higher numbered card for lower numbered cards. In fact, a conventional deck of playing cards could be adapted to playing this game at a very basic level, but the addition of special "power cards" adds fun and randomness to the game play, and there is a memory building angle as well, so you really get everything a game should be in one package: strategy, random luck of the draw, and a bit of genuine gambling. Then there's the entertainment value of the really cool rat and cat cartoons on the cards. So, if you are at the end of your rope for game night with the kids, spend a few bucks and try this one. It looks like it's going to have nine lives in my family. 0 of 0 found this review helpful: Fun Family Game, 2008-03-09 This was one of the first Gamewright games we purchased and it is a winner. Kids, parents, grandparents, even great, great grandma wanted to join in (we caught her "peeking" a couple of times when she shouldn't have, but hey ...). I remember playing a similar game with just your basic deck of face cards (we called it "No Peeking") but Gamewright's "peek" and "swipe" (the "draw2 is ok) are a great addition. My kids complain there are too many NINES in the deck. Lots of luck, but it does require memory and logic. 0 of 0 found this review helpful: We love Rat-a-Tat-Cat, 2007-11-05 I bought this game for my daughter when she was around 5. We played it everyday for years. She is 14 and still loves it. She taught all of her friends to play. Last year for Christmas I got her the Collector's Edition. We have many Gamewright games but this and Frog Juice are our favorites. 4 of 5 found this review helpful: Original, Fun, and Very Educational, 2007-07-27 My 6 year-old daughter, who is about to enter First Grade, loves this game. I taught it to her in about 10 minutes and she probably beats me 4 out of 5 times. I'm 36 and I honestly enjoy playing it. It's a great strategy game that has enormous educational value for beginning math skills. She completely understands the concepts and does all her own scoring. She says she loves it because it's challenging. I'm sure she also likes it because she regularly beats dad. I like it because it's a legitimately fun card game to play with my six year-old daughter. I also have a preschooler. This game is conceptually and mathematically well beyond her. In fact, we haven't even introduced it to her. The game is 6+ unless you've got a gifted 5 year-old. If you're looking for a great preschooler card game, try Sleeping Queens. 4 of 4 found this review helpful: A Favorite Game In Our House, 2007-06-27 My son got this game for his 5th birthday and we have played it at least twice a week for the past year. Because the strategy is being able to memorize card placement, when he wins the game with his dad or me, he really wins it - we aren't losing on purpose! It's definitely a confidence builder. Each round is fairly fast, so you can get in two or three rounds in 15 minutes. Besides memory, it helps with number recognition and math skills.
