About this expansion

Rattus: Spiel 2010 Bonus Cards is a 2010 bonus-card set for 2–4 players, with a listed play time of 45 minutes. Released in October 2010, it contains four distinctive personalities inspired by history and legend.

Each personality offers a different ability. Joan of Arc disguised herself as a man to join the Hundred Years’ War, and in the game she can act as other personalities. Her ability reflects her unusual historical story while giving her a flexible role.

  • Joan of Arc: able to act as other personalities.
  • Count Dracula: gains extra points for killing other players.
  • Robin Hood: steals from the player with the majority and gives the benefit to himself.
  • Merlin: uses his skills to manipulate the plague.

Count Dracula rewards a blood-thirsty approach by providing extra points when other players are killed. Robin Hood focuses on the player with the majority, taking from the rich and giving to the poor—namely, himself.

Merlin brings a different kind of influence, using his high-ranked magical abilities to manipulate the plague. Together, these four bonus personalities add distinct themes and effects to a game of Rattus.

Rattus: Spiel 2010 Bonus Cards was available at the Essen 2010 show through the White Goblin Games booth 5-01 in Hall 5, with purchase of the Pied Piper expansion. It is a compact addition centered on four memorable characters and their individual abilities.
