About

In this 2-3 player card game, you’ll combine rats and relics to create powerful units, build unique engines, and pursue one of several paths to victory. Draw cards, deploy new combinations, and outmanoeuvre your opponent as your clan grows in strength.

To win, you must claim a powerful relic and fulfil its unique conditions, whether through martial might, arcane mastery, or cunning trickery. Every game offers new synergies, strategies, and opportunities to seize control of the ruins.

Description

Beneath the fallen stones of an ancient cathedral, rival rat clans wage an endless struggle for control of the ruins.

In this dueling card game, players build rat clans by equipping their rats with powerful relics. The core mechanic revolves around combining rat and relic cards to form unique units, each with its own abilities and synergies.

On a turn, a player either draws cards from the rat and relic decks or plays a pair of cards from their hand, gradually expanding their presence on the table.
As the game progresses, each player controls an increasing number of rats, which begin to form an engine shaped by their chosen strategy. Different card combinations offer varied tactical approaches, creating multiple viable paths to victory in every match

To win the game, a player must successfully play one of several powerful relics while meeting its specific conditions. Relics are divided into Weapons, Arcane, and Trinkets, and each category represents a distinct victory condition, encouraging players to commit to a strategy while adapting to their opponent’s plans.

Very good, very fun. You never know how the game is going to end, but it's always fun and most of the time very silly.
