Description

Rats & Relics tosses you into a raucous medieval tavern where the most cunning critters rule the night. Picture a handful of sneaky rats, a stash of glittering relics, and a deck of cards that let you pull tricks out of thin air. In just ten to twenty minutes you’ll be shuffling, swapping, and slapping down cards, trying to out‑maneuver your 1‑ or 2‑person rivals before the clock runs out. The rules are so easy to pick up that you’ll be playing before you’ve even finished the first round of drinks, but don’t be fooled – the hand‑management and tag mechanics keep the tension high and the “take‑that” moments coming fast and furious. Designed by Alexander Mosin and fresh out of the 2026 press, this compact card game blends the charm of a fantasy‑filled medieval world with the mischief of a rodent‑run‑amok. Every card you play tags a rat, a relic, or a nasty curse, and the choices you make dictate who walks away with the biggest haul. The fun comes from the constant back‑and‑forth of stealing, protecting, and sabotaging – you’ll be laughing, groaning, and maybe even hissing at the table as you try to out‑wit the other players. With just a couple of friends, a deck of cards, and a taste for cheeky competition, Rats & Relics delivers a quick, chaotic burst of strategy that’s perfect for game nights, lunch breaks, or any moment you need a bite‑sized adventure.
