Picky Packrats

Picky Packrats is a tactical, small-deck card game for 2 or 3 players. Players take turns peeking at hidden treasures, rearranging their nests, raiding the house and each other’s nests, and cementing their treasures in place to make the neatest nest. The most organized player tableau wins the game. Play 1-3 games at 10-15 minutes per game. Or play against Roborat in solo mode. Turns and games are quick, so play a best-of-three tournament for more fun. The game can be expanded to 4 to 6 players with two decks. In Picky Packrats, you are a packrat neatly arranging the treasures you have collected in your midden (nest). Add treasures by raiding the house or other packrat middens. You are very particular and want everything 'just so.' Unfortunately, like all packrats, you are very forgetful, so you need to remind yourself what treasures you have already packed away, while you try to arrange them in your midden to near perfection. When you really like where your treasures are hidden, you cement them in place. Once you or another packrat cements everything down, you compare middens. The pickiest packrat—the one with the neatest nest—wins! —description from the designer
