The pantry shelves are nearly overflowing with food and the mice are rushing to gather what they need to ensure their families have enough to eat through the harsh winter. Each family forages for themselves, attempting to do the best for the wee offspring. The first one to fill their little sack will be the envy of all mousedom.

Ratzzia is a game for two to five individuals. The dice represent the mice in every player’s family. Every time they roll the dice they must arrange the die results on the board in order to get as much food as possible.

Every player has their own set of colored dice. On their turn, they will roll their dice and choose to place them on the matching spaces on the board. The dice symbolize mice climbing on top of each other in order to get rewards from the top shelf.

Rewards can be delicious food, or actions that will help you store or steal food. After gathering some food, it needs to be stored, otherwise it can be stolen by other players! As soon as a player gets 25 points worth of food, they win the game and will survive the winter!
