What it is
The lab rats got smart and escaped. Now they live in a burrow under a farm, and every round they send teams topside to steal wood, metal, and the ideas humans leave lying around.
How it plays
In your first game you focus on the burrow: new rooms, new rats to unlock. Then you count the points and find out the winner is whoever played the cards. And not just a lot of cards: the ones that combo together. Whoever neglects that part falls behind, every time.
The nugget
The box says ninety minutes, but our games tell a different story: fifty minutes with two players, almost two hours with four. With two, it’s basically a different game. You can also play it solo, and it’s language-independent. @craniocreations_official brings it out in Italian.
At our table
Twenty-eight games on our table, and I still place my rats in the wrong spot every single time.

How many games does it take to judge a game?
Here your first game you build the burrow, and only at scoring do you find out the points were in the cards all along.
