About this expansion
Rattus: Jester Promo Card is a BoardGameGeek-exclusive promo card for 2–4 players, associated with a 45-minute game experience and released in 2011. Designed by Åse and Henrik Berg, it brings a playful and unusual action to Rattus.
During the Middle Ages, a jester’s role was to entertain the people. This theme connects the card to both the historical setting of Rattus and BoardGameGeek, whose mascot Ernie even appears on the card.
The player who has the Jester may take two cubes from their supply and drop them onto the board from a height of approximately 30 to 40 centimetres. The cubes settle wherever they land, making this a distinctive physical action that adds an element of unpredictable placement to the game.
- Promo card designed for Rattus
- For 2–4 players
- Associated play time: 45 minutes
- Drop two cubes from approximately 30–40 cm above the board
- Compatible with the base game and every expansion
The Jester can be combined with the Rattus base game as well as with each and every expansion. Its funny and strange effect reflects the character’s traditional role as an entertainer while giving the player a memorable way to interact with the board.
Published by Dutch board game publisher White Goblin Games, this card was developed especially for BoardGameGeek. Rattus: Jester Promo Card was made available exclusively through the BoardGameGeek store, making it a notable promotional addition for players who want this unusual card in their game.
