Rat-a-tat brings the beloved family card game to your phone — a fast, sneaky mix of memory, peeking, and bluffing where the lowest hand wins. Play online with friends, on the same WiFi, or solo against the AI.
Each player starts with four face-down cards laid out in front of them. You get a quick peek at two of your own before the game begins — after that, it's all memory. On your turn, draw a card and decide: keep it and swap it into your row, or discard it.
The deck is mostly number cards (0–9) worth their face value — but mixed in are four kinds of special cards, worth zero points if you hold onto one. Discard a special card instead of keeping it and its power activates. When you think your hand total is low enough, knock to end the round — but knock too early and the penalty is yours to keep.
Peek at two of your own four cards, then memorize them — you won't see them again unless you use a special ability.
Take turns drawing from the deck or discard pile, swapping cards into your row to lower your hand total.
Drew a special card? Discard it instead of keeping it to trigger its power.
Confident your hand is low? Knock. Everyone else gets one last turn, then all hands are revealed.
Numbered cards (0–9) are worth their face value and do nothing special. Mixed into the deck are four kinds of special cards — worth zero points, but only if you discard them the moment you draw them do they unleash their power.

Trade one of your face-down cards with an opponent's — without either of you seeing what's changing hands.
