This expansion takes the core game to a whole new level, making it feel fresh and exciting even for seasoned players. One of the best things about Rattus: Africanus is that it allows for up to six players to join in on the fun, making it a great option for larger game nights. With a playtime of just 45 minutes, it's easy to fit in a game or two, and the easy-to-learn rules mean that new players can jump right in. Designed by Henrik Berg and Åse Berg, this 2011 expansion is a must-have for fans of the original game, and its medieval theme and area majority/influence mechanics make it a compelling choice for anyone who loves strategic gameplay.
