In First Rat, you lead a band of clever rodents racing to build a cheese-powered rocket and escape to space! This charming family strategy game combines resource management with a whimsical space race theme. Players collect cheese, build rocket parts, and train their rats to be the first to launch. The standout mechanic is the action selection board, where you choose a column of actions that also determines turn order, adding a layer of tactical planning. The tone is lighthearted and competitive, perfect for families and casual gamers. Best with 2-4 players, it offers a mid-weight challenge that plays in about 30-60 minutes.
