Rat a Tat Cat
Price $9.95

Would you believe that we discontinued this item at one time? Then friends and the Mensa Hall of Fame urged us to give it a try. Fun, fun, fun. We've played at home every night for a week. This is a game that can be played by children as young as 6. All of us are over 13, but still enjoy it. We have customers who are on their second or third set, having worn out previous decks. Mechanics of play are unusual but simple to learn.

You are trying to end the game with the fewest points on your four face-down cards. One wrinkle is that you may only peek at two of your cards as the game begins. Draw a card from the pile, then choose whether to discard it or substitute for one of your 4 cards. Because you sometimes do not know what a card in your hand is, you may put a pretty good card into your own hand and end up discarding a great card for the next player. On the other hand, a "Swap" card sometimes allows you to do the "pole cat pass" where you stick an opponent with one of your lousy cards while making off with his low point cards. "Peek" and "Draw Two" power cards turn up occasionally, allowing players to maneuver and strategize further. Witty pictures of cats (the good guys--low points) and rats (bad guys--high points) illustrate each of the 54 cards. Winner of Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Platinum Best Toy Award and the 1996 Mensa Best New Mind Game.

Slamwich
Price $9.95

A quotation from the game's box: "Parental Alert: A sharp eye and fast hand will prevail, so be warned when you play this game with children." There are 55 amusingly-illustrated, slice-of-bread-shaped cards. Players take turn flipping over a card. Slap the pile when a Slamwich has been built, but don't "Slip Slap" or you lose a card. Very nice components.

Cromlet
Our Price: $24.95

From the manufacturer:

"Cromlet – a little luck, a little strategy and a whole lot of fun! A very unique game design where no one is the clear winner until the very last move.

Cards are played, Crowns are laid, Cromlets are claimed, and “Dead” cards often remain. Sounds easy, but wait….Replacement cards may be drawn, Wild cards may cause a spoil, and a player’s strategy may cause turmoil.

Players never know when a Cromlet will be claimed, and timing is everything in this game. Suddenly a player claims their maximum number of Cromlets, and their strategy switches to blocking other player’s moves.

Players will try to foil each other’s moves. Enter into the mix six “Wild” cards that may be played at any time, along with the rule that occasionally forces a player to claim a Cromlet with a low point value, and you have a very fun, strategic and interactive game called Cromlet! Enjoy your Family and Friends as you play Cromlet, and HAVE FUN!"
