It is the year 1347 AD, and 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 will it be clear who was able to keep their population alive — and win the game!

Rattus: Big Box includes not only several previous released expansions and promos, but also previous unpublished materials, modules, and bonus cards. More specifically, this renewed edition of the Rattus line contains all materials of the base game and the Pied Piper, Africanus, and Academicus expansions. Additional new content is included, and players can add the new "Guilds & Inns" and "Bonus" modules to create even more variety and challenge.

This edition also contains popular bonus cards like The Judge, The Jester, and Boccaccio, as well as all 27 level upgrade tiles.

Expansion Rattus Cartus: Nobilis
Family Rattus

In 1347, The Black Death ravages Europe. The ruler of your land has just succumbed to the plague, and now you, the princes of the land, compete against one another in a struggle to replace him. To do this you travel around the land to gather loyal supporters from among the various classes of the middle ages. Each day you visit a different town, each containing different kinds of buildings and each providing different kinds of benefits. When entering a building belonging to a given class, you recruit followers from that class. Once in a while, you also take a chance on recruiting some of the strangers lurking in the streets. There are a few rats in those streets, too, but a rat or two won't kill you, right?

Rattus Cartus, a card game based on the Rattus board game, includes twelve different buildings with players using all or only some of them each game to provide a wide variety of play. Are you going to play it safe, or will you run the risk of perishing from the effects of the plague?

St. Francis of Assisi: was an Italian Catholic friar and preacher. He founded the men's Order of Friars Minor, the women’s Order of St. Clare, and the Third Order of Saint Francis for men and women not able to live the lives of itinerant preachers, followed by the early members of the Order of Friars Minor, or the monastic lives of the Poor Clares. Though he was never ordained to the Catholic priesthood, Francis is one of the most venerated religious figures in history.
Barbarossa: Holy Roman Emperor, he got the name Barbarossa from the northern Italian cities he attempted to rule: Barbarossa means "red beard" in Italian. In German, he was known as Kaiser Rotbart, which has the same meaning.
Genghis Khan: was the founder and Great Khan (emperor) of the Mongol Empire, which became the largest contiguous empire in history after his demise.
Marco Polo: was an Italian merchant traveller. He was not the first European to reach China (see Europeans in Medieval China), but he was the first to leave a detailed chronicle of his experience.

The Rattus promocard The Jester was especially developed for Boardgamegeek by designers Åse and Henrik Berg. The card was published by Dutch board game publisher White Goblin Games. The card even stars Ernie, the mascot of Boardgamegeek.

During the Middle Ages, it was the jester’s task to entertain the people. So there’s an obvious link between this card, the game and Boardgamegeek. Besides that, a jester is a funny and strange guy so this card also lets you do something funny and strange: The player who has the jester, is allowed to take 2 cubes from his supply in hands and drop them on the board from about 30 to 40 cm height. Where the cubes end, they will settle. The card can be combined with the base game, as well as with each and every expansion.

This card is a Boardgamegeek exclusive and will only be available from the Boardgamegeek store.

Europe, 1348. The Black Death ravages Europe. Until now the players have used the help of a handful of different medieval classes to fight the plague. Now it’s time to call for reinforcements. 12 new personalities are ready to provide their help to the players. Some of these, like the Queen and the Emperor, use their wealth and power to aid the players. Some, like the Nun and the Bishop, use wisdom and faith to avoid the plague, while others resort to magic and witchcraft, like Pied Piper, who uses his magical flute to lure the rats along with him. ]]> Age_9+ Availability_Out of Stock BGG-Set Category_Family Category_Strategy Discount_On Sale Google-True INV-M-Z INV-R Players Maximum_4 Players Players Minimum_2 Players Playtime Maximum_45 Minutes Playtime Minimum_45 Minutes Product Type_Board Games Product-International Restock-20230112_Full_Restock Restock-20240526-Long Sale Type_Regular Source_Import Games Year Published_2010s https://www.booyakajuice.com/products/271201469 Default Title 28.95 101412 1094 https://www.booyakajuice.com/products/271198905 2014-03-22T18:31:00-04:00 2014-03-22T18:31:00-04:00 Rattus: Africanus (Import) Board Games White Goblin Games

Europe, 1347. A disaster is about to strike. The Black Death reaches Europe, and during the next 4-5 years, the population of Europe will be halved.
The players settle in the various regions of Europe, while the plague spreads throughout all of the continent. The players gain help from the various classes of the middle ages: the Peasants provide population growth, the wise Monks keep the rats away, the rich Merchants flee when the plague approaches, the warfare conducted by the Knights spreads the plague to new areas, the Witches control the spread through magic and witchcraft, whereas the Kings avoid the plague by staying in their fortified palaces. But the plague does not make any distinction: when the rats arrive, no one can feel safe. 
When the plague withdraws and the game ends, the player with the highest surviving population wins.

Rattus is a medium-strategy game that takes place in the Dark Ages during the black plague. The players try to hold off the disease.
To do this they get help from farmers, magicians, knights, nobles, ... But nothing helps as long as the rats keep coming.

Europe 1349. The Black Death has ravaged for a few years now. The people of Europe nonetheless try to live their lives as normally as possible. The craftsmen still produce their goods and the traders still sell them for the best prices possible, while the swindlers, thieves and raiders still grab whatever they can. In the end, however, the grave robbers might be the ones who profit the most because it doesn't seem like the plague will retire any time soon.

Rattus: Mercatus includes twelve new class cards featuring the characters mentioned above and others. These characters allow you to collect goods and use money to perform special actions.

Will you be able to keep the nobles at your side in your struggles against the other princes so that at last a new, worthy king can be elected?

New York, 1842: The docks along South Street bustle with activity. Packet ships are constantly arriving and departing. There are so many packet ships waiting along the docks that the area has become known as the "Packet Row".

In the game Packet Row, each player represents a trading company that's trying to make as much profit as possible on the trans-Atlantic trade. However, having a lot of cash is not enough to win this game. You must spend your money for the benefit of the city at the right time to gain as many victory points as possible.
