First Rat

Rats in an old junkyard gather resources and build a rocket to reach a legendary cheese moon. Players control a small rat family, moving rats along a path to collect colored resources, buy or steal items at stores, and light bulbs to increase future income. Actions include moving one rat a longer distance or several rats shorter distances (ending on the same color), paying cheese when landing on opponents, and spending resources to construct rocket sections, donate cheese for points, or recruit and raise additional rats. The game ends when a player fills the rocket or reaches a scoring threshold; most points wins. Includes solo play and variable setups.
