Ratzzia

About this board game

Ratzzia is a dice-placement game for 2–5 players, with play lasting about 30 minutes. Each family of mice races to collect enough food to survive the harsh winter, with the first player to gather 25 points worth of food winning the game.

Each player has their own set of colored dice, representing the mice in their family. On a turn, roll the dice and arrange the results on matching spaces on the board. The mice climb on top of one another to reach rewards waiting on the top shelf, making every roll an opportunity to gather more for the pantry.

• Roll and place: Arrange your dice on matching board spaces.
• Climb for rewards: Stack mice to reach food and useful actions.
• Protect your supplies: Store collected food before another player steals it.
• Race to 25 points: Fill your family’s needs before the other players do.

The rewards in Ratzzia are not limited to delicious food. Some provide actions that help you store your supplies, while others let you steal food from rival families. Choosing when to collect, store, or interfere with opponents gives each roll an important purpose.

With its colorful family dice, climbing mice, and shared pantry competition, Ratzzia presents a lively contest of positioning and timing. Gather what your mice need, keep it safe from greedy rivals, and become the envy of all mousedom before winter sets in.
