Ratuki (2020 Edition)

Ratuki (ra-too-kee) is the fast fast flippin’, quick grabbin’ fun family card game where 2 to 5 players simultaneously race to unload their cards by playing on shared ascending and descending stacks. If you like speed, you’ll love the fun frenzied excitement of Ratuki! Be the first to slam down a five and yell “RATUKI!” to claim a stack. Between the different designs and colors, you’ll have to think fast and sort faster!

How to Play: Each player starts with 35 cards containing the numbers 1 through 5 represented by various number symbols, roman numerals and words. To start the game, players simultaneously race against each other to put those cards in ascending and descending sequential order on shared piles. Each player’s goal is to get rid of their cards first, while at the same time collect the most cards. Players can collect cards by playing any 5 or a wild Ratuki card on a pile. When a player is out of cards all play stops, and each player counts the number of cards collected and subtracts the cards left in their hand to get their score. The first player to 100 wins!
