It is the year 1347 AD. A disaster is about to strike. The Black Death is approaching, and during the next few years, large parts of the population of Europe and Northern Africa will be killed by the plague.

In Rattus, the players settle in the various regions of Europe and Northern Africa, while the plague spreads through all these regions. The players gain help from the various professions of the Middle Ages. Some of these, like Peasants and Bakers, help the players grow their populations. Some, like the Monks and Nuns, use wisdom and faith to avoid the plague, while the warfare conducted by the Knights and Soldiers spreads the plague to new areas. However, the plague does not make any distinction. When the rats arrive, no one can feel safe. Finally, the plague withdraws and the game ends. Only then it will be clear who was able to keep his population alive, and win the game!

Rattus: Big Box includes the base game, 3 expansions (Pied Piper, Africanus, and Academicus), as well as previously unpublished materials and bonus cards.

Black Plague for the whole family!

Average rating of 4 out of 5 stars

Fun, a family level game centered around avoiding rats and the Black Plague! The theme may be morbid, but the game is a lot of fun and can be played in an hour or less.

The not too big Big Box.

Average rating of 5 out of 5 stars

Great revamping of a classic game. Excellent component upgrades and new art. I especially appreciate that it is a bix box edition that is a reasonable size and not the size of small car. No issue fitting on to the shelves.

I was able to teach the basic game to my 13yr old daughter who really enjoyed it. Good quality components and so much to delve into!
