Get ready for a swashbuckling adventure like no other with Ladies & Rats, a thrilling solo trick-taking card game. As a lone player, you'll be pitted against two ghostly AI opponents, a ghost crew, in a battle to score the most card points. But beware, the game is full of twists and turns, including special Rat cards that can infest your hand and devour your highest cards, and powerful Pirate cards that can win almost any trick. These Pirate cards are particularly cool, featuring famous female pirates from history, such as Ching Shih and Anne Bonny, adding a touch of authenticity and excitement to the game. With easy-to-learn rules and a playtime of just 20 to 30 minutes, Ladies & Rats is the perfect game for a quick horror-themed fix. Published in 2021, this base game is designed by John Burton and promises a fun and challenging experience. Your goal is to collect at least 5 of the 9 gems before the ghost crew gets their hands on them, and each round you'll bet on the number of gems you think you can take. With its unique blend of card game mechanics and pirate horror themes, Ladies & Rats is a must-play for fans of solo games and trick-taking card games alike. So hoist the sails and set course for a thrilling adventure with Ladies & Rats.
