6. Rat Hot
by Michael Schacht

Reccomended?: Yes
There's a rat in me kitchen what am I gonna do?
Probably not sell any of those herbs and spices due to food hygiene regulations.
Except that's what you have to do. Each turn you take 2 tiles and aim to place them so that you form sets of your colour spice (2 of a kind gets you 1 point, 3 or more gets you 2 points). You're also aiming to leave your opponents colour of rats in awkward places and limit their options for completing sets on their turn.
You can place your tiles on the table or on top of other tiles. Your tile cannot cover just one tile and must have tile(s) under each of it's 3 sections. By doing this you can cover up (squash) your own rats and your opponents herbs and spices.
Quick to learn and fun enough but kind of gross if you think the theme through. Again, this is a 2 player so doesn't come out as much as I'd like.
In 2012 my collection of board games will reach 100 and I will play each and every one of them at least once. Some will be played once only, some will be played a lot. Some will never leave my collection, some will move on to make space for others. This blog isn't just about completing a challenge. It's about gaming, what it can teach us and how it can make our lives better.
