River Rats is a cooperative game set aboard a luxurious futuristic riverboat. Defeat the evil River Rats using teamwork, clever hand management, and strategic planning to shift the odds in your favour!
Each round, players add cards from their hand to build the best poker hand, each suit triggering a different ability to help you. At the end of the round, your goal is to collectively craft stronger poker combinations than the River Rats. The loser between your team and the rat will accumulate debts. Who will go bankrupt first?
You can even increase the difficulty with different modes to make an even more rat-tling challenge!
