Published in 2008 and designed by Ted Alspach, Rapscallion has been delighting players for years with its unique auction bidding mechanism. In Rapscallion, players take turns bidding for playing cards using special bidding cards and powerful Rapscallions. These Rapscallions are key to gaining an edge over your opponents, as they can dramatically increase your bidding power. But be careful - to get these powerful bidding cards, you'll have to give up some of the playing cards you've already won.

As the game progresses, players earn points for their poker hands, with certain types of hands scoring higher than others. The goal is to be the first player to reach 100 points, and with the right strategy, you can outmaneuver your opponents and emerge victorious. What makes Rapscallion so engaging is the combination of luck and strategy. You'll need to carefully manage your bidding cards and Rapscallions, all while trying to outguess your opponents and stay one step ahead.
