About the Game

Rats of gold? Cheese with mold? Use whatever you can to outsmart your friends and collect the most roses! Rats and Roses is a simple yet strategic card game where you summon rats, sabotage others, and fight for floral glory.

Each turn flows through four phases—START, SHOP, DRAW, and ACTION—as players use six different types of cards to gain an edge. Some cards are straightforward, like collecting 3 roses, while others require clever play—such as sacrificing a rat to steal 2 roses.

With 80 unique cards each featuring their own special ability, the interactions are limitless, meaning no two games play the same. A battle of wit, mischief, and roses awaits.
