Ratyl is a dexterity/strategy mini game console for up to two players lasting 20-40 minutes. It’s the cornhole/X-com/warioware crossover everyone has been asking for…
Ratyl is perfect to play solo or with a friend. It’s incredibly snappy while creating countless ‘oh my gosh!’ moments of success and failure. It packs down to around the size of a VHS case so can easily be taken to the pub or cafe.
The meaty dexterity layer will have you tossing, placing and moving diamonds that satisfyingly (I mean like really satisfying) rattle into a 5×10 grid. There are twenty mini games from super cozy to super crunchy. Can you escape the room as an assassin, jump through successive multiverse portals, build a successful veggie crop and invade your opponents castle?
Mechanics
- Toss/Roll/Place/Move
- Open drafting
- Three dimensional play
- Take that
- Grid movement
A layer of strategy has you drafting a hand of outlaw rats that allow you to alter the game state with various powers. There are twently outlaws each affecting the game diffently. Rewind an action, steal an outlaw card or move a diamond at will to name a few.
Finally place the powerful polyomino pieces to persuade the diamonds to fall in your favour and increase your chances of dextrous success.
