Hi Tom you said the player can move 2 rats up to 3 spaces. But for the sake of clarity the complete rule is that you can move ANY NUMBER (2, 3 or 4) of your rats up to 3 spaces. Best Gabriele
@@teypan you can move 1 rat up to 5 spaces. Or you can move 2,3 or 4 of your rats up to 3 spaces. But of course you will need to get the third and forth rat out of the nursery.
Thanks for sharing a review for this game! My family is loving it. I even get my 4-year-old to play with me as the solo mode cards. It is really approachable with good tactical and strategical play.
The surprise so far of 2022. Solo mode is very solid as well. I also added the bot to our 2 player games and worked very well. I hope it gets nominated for the Kennerspiel next week.
Come'on Girls. Ratstronaut....thats funny!!!! I'm buying this just to say Ratstronaut over and over again to my girls. Love the review. Thanks, Tom, Ruby and Violet.
I played it two times now. Once Solo and once two players. And I really really like it so far. The theme and artstyle is cute. The mechanism is interesting And the game plays fast. Now I want a sequel with the rockets of the rats. On the way to the moon😅
Just played this last friday. A great game, horrible cover but the theme is superbly implemented, and really smooth play even with 5 players. Recommendation!
You ask what sort of person wins First Rat? I would say only a complete rat can do so! 🤣 Great review! I was intending to order this game at the end of the month anyway, but you've only confirmed this is a good idea. One question which you didn't address: so is this a space race, or a rat race? 🤔

That is so cool I have been playing the rule wrong. Gonna play again now to see what massive combos I can do
I haven't read the rulebook yet, but can you please explain how can you move 4 rats with 3 movement actions?

@@boardgamehappy5982 Thank you!
I really like that cover and the theme. It feels like if this were an animated movie, I would've gone crazy for it as a kid.
It’s going on my list! Thanks Vasel family for another excellent review!

Bought it few months ago just based on a theme. Played it with 5 and really enjoyed it ! One of my family favorite games for sure ! Highly recommend!
More reviews with Vasel Family! This was very good 🙂
We played this at UKGE and brought it straight away, its a lot of fun
House rats are pretty clean and intelligent animals :)
Great review! It looks like a really cool game!

I love this game. Really good at solo all th way through to 5 players. So many point you can gain in lots of different ways.

Just ordered this. Looks like a fun family game that has some light but interesting decisions
"I am not a rat" is exactly what a rat would say
I played it two times now.
Once Solo and once two players.
And I really really like it so far.
The theme and artstyle is cute.
The mechanism is interesting
And the game plays fast.

YUp, this game is excellent and very different!
This seems very reminiscent of Martin Wallace's Toledo...
Hmmm! So what age group does this work for? Starting at…? I have 5 and 7 year old girls.

The game looks really fun though
If a rat can become a world famous chef in New York, it can get to space.
Fun fact: rats have been to space many times
Rats are amazing pets! Oh and this game is great too!
i have three boy rays! lol theyre very sweet.
A rat will definitely say they are not a rat...
Poor rats xs
So it is fun for gamers to?
Yes. Great for gamers. Be warned though, a good gamer will plan so far ahead and the end game might come about quicker than you would think
I guess me and my daughter qualify.
@@thedicetower haha. And my son. He finishes the game so fast. Just as I have started to build my engine
I like how they anthropomorphized the cockroaches so they wouldn’t look so gross. 🪳🤮
