Rat Race

Welcome to your first day at our innovative and exciting recruitment agency, explicitly tailored to our hardworking rat colleagues. As new employees, your mission is to assist our fellow rats in finding their calling in diverse industries—each with its own unique appeal. From the bustling sector of food scraps to the rustling sector of leaves and yard waste, you will guide your recruits toward their dream jobs in one of our esteemed trash-related industries. As you navigate this dynamic workplace, always remember that at our agency, every rat has the potential to become the Big Cheese! In Rat Race, you’ll assume the role of a recruiter who tries to put your rats in the best position to succeed. Expand industries by building the trash pile. Assign new recruits to entry-level jobs. Encourage them to climb the corporate ladder (to earn a bonus when they become the Big Cheese). Or undermine the competition by reaching full employment before your opponents reach their full potential. You can win either way. Rat Race is a highly interactive game with simple rules that yield a complex and dynamic game space. Filled with strategic and tactical depth, this game might leave your brain feeling like Swiss cheese. —description from the publisher
