First Rat

First Rat is a charming and engaging game that caught my attention with its quirky theme of rats building a rocket ship to reach a moon made of cheese. The game itself is surprisingly deep, despite its simple rules and straightforward gameplay. I really enjoyed the lack of randomness, with the game being driven entirely by player decisions, making it a great choice for strategic gamers and those who appreciate planning ahead. I particularly liked the variety of paths to victory, with options to focus on building the rocket, collecting resources, or acquiring powerful items.

The game's components are also high quality, with cute and detailed artwork. The board itself is beautifully illustrated and the rat pieces are surprisingly weighty and satisfying to handle. The game has a great feel to it that makes it enjoyable to play, even for those who aren't die-hard board gamers. My family and I have enjoyed playing First Rat together, and it has become a favorite among us. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a fun and engaging family game that doesn't take itself too seriously.
