Okay, this may be the fastest card game ever. This is a rebranding of a Japanese card came called "R" which was created by Seiji Kanai, who created the incredibly popular games "Love Letter" and "Lost Legacy". Like those games, "Braverats" has only 16 cards and is a variation on the classic card game "War" where two different clans of Scottish rats ... yes, rats (who are depicted with fantastic artwork and wearing kilts where appropriate)battle each other on each turn. But, as opposed to "War", the higher number card doesn't always win since each card has a special power that can turn the tables or alter the outcome. First player to win four rounds wins and that can happen in about one minute but no more than five, most of the time.
The rule book also has a lot of variations so you can mix up the rules for different ways to play. Unlike "Love Letter", this is for two players ONLY (just like "War") and comes in a great, small tin case that is easy to always have with you.
