River Rats

Beat the house. Together.

The rich, robotic River Rats have dragged you and your crew to the table for a high-stakes game, and your freedom is the pot. But this was never about luck. River Rats is a cooperative, poker-style card game about clever play, reading your teammates, and winning together when you can barely talk to each other.

The factions

Four suits. Four factions.

Each suit is its own faction with its own edge, and knowing when to trigger their abilities is everything. Coordinate without saying too much, bend the odds in your favour, and break free before the Rats trap your whole crew in debt.

Talk less. Think more.

Beautifully illustrated, quick to learn, and endlessly re-playable. Modern board-game depth in a deck you will want to keep on the table.
