About this board game
BraveRats is a short card game for exactly two players, with each game taking about 15 minutes. Both players select cards simultaneously, reveal them together, and compete to win four rounds.
Each player has a hand of eight cards, numbered from 0 to 7. Every card has its own special power, giving the simple act of choosing a card an important layer of variety. The highest card wins the round, but the cards’ abilities greatly influence the result.
- Designed for 2 players
- Approximately 15 minutes per game
- Eight cards per player, numbered 0–7
- Simultaneous action selection and card reveals
- Victory goes to the first player to win four rounds
On each turn, both players secretly choose one card from their hand before revealing their selections at the same time. This creates a direct contest of card values and special powers, with every reveal showing how the two choices interact.
BraveRats, first released as R in 2011, keeps its rules straightforward while making the special powers central to play. Its compact format and two-player focus make it a fitting choice when you want a complete card duel in a short amount of time.
