Rat-a-Tat Cat

Players are dealt four face-down cards and may briefly peek at the two outer cards. On a turn a player draws from the deck or discard, then either swap the drawn card with one of their face-down cards (placing it face down) or discard it; some special cards let players exchange with an opponent, peek at a card, or inspect the next draw. A player may knock to trigger one final round of turns; when the round ends everyone reveals their cards and adds values. The goal is to end rounds with the lowest total score, using memory and timing to track other players’ cards and actions.
