RATS: High Tea at Sea + Charity

A banquet on a sinking ship can't last forever, but there's just enough time to prove yourself the most fabulous rat aboard! Each round you’ll be scavenging for supplies and competing with your honorable host in a most delightful competition of dishes and decorations - all the while forgetting that the ship is sinking beneath you!

RATS: High Tea at Sea is a print & play, roll & write boardgame for 2-6 players that’s playable over the internet, in the same room, or a combination of the two! It is preposterously easy to learn and teach, but has sneaky twists and turns that will reveal themselves every time you play - a lovely little treat for whoever fancies climbing aboard.

We can’t think of a more sustainable way to make a board game than a print-and-play, but we don’t want to stop there: if you buy RATS: High Tea at Sea from this page 50% of the proceeds will go to Plastic Oceans, a charity with the mission to raise awareness about plastic pollution and combat the problem with direct action programs. If you would like to learn more about the charity, or contribute directly, we highly encourage you to do so! plasticoceans.org

If you’d rather not make the charitable contribution, buy from this page instead.

All you need to play is your own copy of the RATS sheet, a way to chat and preferably see your friends (zoom, skype, discord, etc.), 2 six-sided dice (or you can politely ask another player to roll for you, or use a website), and a pencil (pen if you're really tough!) Players without a printer can even use a blank sheet of paper to quickly create their player sheets.
