Hello and welcome to a new episode of "Mi Cabeza Friki".
Today we will introduce you to the prototype of Ratland,
a game by young author Eduardo García, available on a Kickstarter campaign
mid-September and developed by the new editorial label Eclipse Editorial.
Luis from Draco Ideas collaborates with them.
You'll know him from other games like Onus or 2GM Tactics.
Ratland is illustrated by Aragonese artist Ramsés Bosque.
Matías Cazorla was in charge of graphic design.
In Ratland, each player will lead a pack of rats in a sewer,
and will have to do what rats do best: procreating.
In the end, whoever has procreated the highest number of surviving rats,
will win the game.
Ratland is a family rivalry game, not designed for children,
but they can play if they are 7-8 and up, as soon as they can add and subtract.
And here it is. Each player starts the game with a personal board.
During the game... Give me!
They'll use this cover right here to hide their personal board.
They must place their rats in the board's various areas.
They're start off with 7 rats and 2 cheeses. Cheeses have various uses.
Their main use is feeding our rats at the end of each round.
If we don't have enough cheese to feed the rats, they might die,
so it's very important to get cheese and procreate.
The game's dynamic is based on this balance.
We have yellow cheeses, worth one cheese, orange cheeses, worth two cheeses,
white cheeses, worth nothing, they're just here to disturb us,
black cheeses, which kill one of our rats when we pull them out,
purple cheeses, which will make our rats sick and move them here to the center of the board,
to the sick bay, and we have blue cheeses. When we pull them out, the rat in that area,
will be left outside, which is represented by this little card. We'd move the rat here.
At the beginning of the round... The game is played through rounds simultaneously by all players.
...so we pull out one event card.
Among these event cards, there is this card that triggers the end of the game.
This card right here.
We will shuffle it and put it at the bottom of the deck among other cards,
so we can sense when the game will end but can't be sure about it.
These cards will define certain events that will happen at the beginning of that round.
For instance, this one will give all players an extra yellow cheese.
There are various cards like this.
We have this other deck.
It will determine what we have in each of the areas where we can send our rats.
The first thing all players do simultaneously in a round
with the cover hiding our board
is placing our rats in one of the areas.
Depending on where we place it we'll be giving it a different order.
There are three areas where we can get more cheese.
The landfill area, which is this green area.
There will be six yellow cheeses here and six white cheeses.
We can place some rats here and in the city, who will access these cheeses here,
and we can also put some rats outside the city,
which is the orange area in our cards.
We can also attack the player to our left and to our right,
placing the rats we have here or here.
For every extra rat we have to the rats that a player has in the defense area,
this area here with the rat with the shield, we will take one of their cheeses.
Here we have the love corner, where we will procreate.
For every rat we place in this area, we will take another rat from the rat stack.
If we have two, we'll take two, and if we have one, we'll take another rat and put it here.
The round begins with every player placing their rats.
When that is done, we remove the covers.
During attacks, we see what I was saying:
how many rats attack the areas with the players to the left/right and compare to their defenders.
Then we procreate and take as many rats as we have in our procreation area
and we'll set the number of cheeses each player can take. In this case, we'll put six yellow cheeses
and six white cheeses in our bag
and starting with the initial player with the fewer number of rats in that area,
we would take as many cheeses as rats we have in this area.
If we have it like this...
When it's time, we would take three cheeses
from the bag, and keep the relevant cheeses.
White cheeses would go out, if we get a black cheese, a rat would die,
if we get a purple cheese, a rat would fall ill,
with a blue cheese, a rat would move here.
Now we give the bag to another player, first the one with the fewest number of rats
then the one with the highest, and following the initial player.
And so each player would take their cheese out of the bag.
When we finish that round and all players have procreated, taken their cheese,
attacked, and so on,
it's time to feed the rats.
In order to do that we follow the numbers in this guide card.
If we have three rats, we don't need to feed them.
If like in this case, our round ends with ten rats,
we would have to feed them four cheeses.
And we can. If we only had two,
two of our rats would die, they would starve.
Then we would put them on this card here.
These represent negative points which we would deduct at the end of the game.
When the game ends, we add up all the rats that each player has,
each player subtracts his number of rats on this card and that's their final score.
And now you'll get to see how the game works during a real game.
With the guest appearances of... RAMSÉS BOSQUE - Ratland's illustrator
MIRIAM key actor in Ratland's project
ÁLVARO the nicest of them all
So let's begin our Ratland's game.
You can't look at the others.
This is due to the camera, one of us should go over there.
Sure. We'll start drawing an event.
And the cheeses we'll have to send.
We'll start with seven rats each, we can start placing them.
-But we just pulled out a cousin. -One extra rat each.
-One for Álvaro. This is yours. -Great, I'm bringing the cousin home.
-Great. -One, two, three, four.
Three, four, five, six, I should have eight, shouldn't I?
-Yes. -And eight. Now we can place them, right?
-Okay, I'm set. -Okay.
-Me too. Are we all? -Are you ready, Álvaro?
Let's uncover.
Shall we attack?
I forgot to take two cheeses!
Yeah, put them on. I'm attacking you.
I see, I saw that coming.
-What do we do first? -Attacking.
-Attacks first. -I'll go first.
-You're dealing, right? You're the initial player. -Yes.
You attack with how many?
-With two. -Two each. But I have these rats defending here.
I have three so you don't take anything.
-But you're attacking me? -I'm attacking with two rats.
-And you're not defending. Give me my cheese. -I'm not.
-Give me. Playing against Rubén is a win-win. -Off to a good start.
This was the second or third time I played Ratland.
I'm always next to someone who screws with me during the whole game,
I can't read their minds. Neither Ramsés nor Miriam.
-I attack you with two and you... -I'm defending with two.
-I'm peaceful. -You're not attacking, me neither.
All remains the same and we start to pull out cheese.
-First we procreate. I put a rat on the love-nest. -Yes. Me too.
-I didn't put any. -Me!
-Okay. -That's it.
Now we'll move on to the locations. The one with the highest number goes first.
-The one with the lowest number. -Okay.
IN THIS PHASE, PLAYERS PULL OUT AS MANY CHEESES AS RATS
THEY PUT IN EACH OF THE THREE BOARD POSITIONS
THE BAG WILL HAVE AS MANY CHEESES AS INDICATED FOR EACH AREA (GREEN, BLUE, ORANGE)
IN THE REFERENCE CARD FOR THAT ROUND
-Rubén's rats are dying. I sent one. How about you?
Two, two, you start.
-A purple one. -One out. If it's a tie, the initial player starts.
-Then Ramsés, then me. -He'll leave me all the purple ones.
-There are only two. Great. -Great.
-To the sick bay. And then you'll have to feed it. -Yes, you have to feed it but can't act with it.
-Great. You left the best for me. -What was white? Ah, nothing.
-And you'll take what? -Two.
No, no, no.
-You're going to win. -You need to pull out the purple one.
-So you don't leave it... -No, the orange one.
Take a rat and walk.
And I'll pull out another two. Great.
-Now we empty it, right? -Yes, and now periphery...
-THIS GAME IS A PROTOTYPE. -I don't have periphery.
-Three white ones. -Six yellow ones.
-And three blue ones. -Okay.
-I put a one. -Me too.
-Then I start because we're going in this sense. -Exactly.
-Great, wonderful. Well done. -Alright. Straight on.
-I lose that. -Great.
This one stays here on the card.
It stays outside but you don't have to feed it, it went out and hasn't come back on time.
-It's out eating carrots. -Okay.
So we remove all these, right?
No. It doesn't matter, now we have to count for food. Three, four, five.
-THIS CARD SHOWS HOW MUCH CHEESE YOU NEED -Nine, so three cheeses.
ACCORDING TO THE NUMBER OF RATS YOU HAVE
-How many do you have? -Eight rats so three cheeses.
-Four, five, six, seven, eight, nine. -I'll do that to get rid of the rat.
-The rat... Moves to Ramsés. We'll take just this... -Yes, from the initial player.
-Now I'm the one who... Yes, do. -And we draw again, right?
-One extra cheese for all? -Yes.
You finally got that cheese you needed.
-Now I'll place... The black means the rat dies, right? -Yes.
How much cheese do you have?
-Three. -Three.
-But you can't attack me. -But you can attack me.
-Okay, let's go. -Let's go.
Damn, I didn't even see you coming!
-How many? -You attack with two and defend with three.
-Nothing. -You don't attack, you had four defense.
-Duh. -Protecting cheese at all costs. Okay.
-So no attacks. -No attacks.
We mate. This game has been quite conservative. Mating, getting enough cheese to feed them.
So yeah. I have the advantage I've played several times.
-You start, right? -Yes. Her, then him.
-Then me, then you. -By order, right? From lowest to highest.
-Yes. -You have one, right, Álvaro?
-One. -One, there you go, Álvaro.
Álvaro knows the color by touching it. My turn, I'll pull out two.
-Hopefully both yellow. There you go. -You'll leave me the worst.
That's how it works.
-Keep trying. -Come on, take the two purple ones.
-There are no purple ones. This is the landfill. -What did you get? Don't complain!
-I didn't complain. Did you see me complain? -No, but I supposed it.
Now I'll take out one.
Please don't be the black one... Ah!
Dead rat.
It was bad luck. Now the rat dies in combat.
-Move it here. -Done, right?
-Who has the periphery? -Quick.
-Do you have the periphery? -No.
-Five, there were some orange ones. Okay, not bad. -Damn, not bad.
Now we feed them.
AFTER EVERY ROUND YOU HAVE TO FEED YOUR RATS.
BUT CAREFUL!
IF YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH CHEESE, THE STARVING RATS WILL DIE.
Three cheeses, I'd forgotten how cheese flies in this game.
I paid for four!
-Eleven? -Only one for me.
-Four. No. -Pay up in cheese, did you pay Álvaro?
-How many rats do you have? -One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight...
I pay three.
-Then take... -Man, our rats are a bit... Next.
MANY ROUNDS LATER...
-How much cheese do you have? -I have two. What is this?
The one with the highest number of rats gives one to the one with the fewest.
-Right now? -Yes.
I have eight rats.
-I have 11. In the sewer? -Me too, 11.
-In total. -I have 12 then.
-This one too? -Counting the ones you lose?
-I have 12 then. -One, two, three... I have nine.
And you're the initial player. Great.
The initial player always settles a tie, for good and bad.
-How many do you have? No, rats. -Cheese?
Nine.
Nine with the one outside.
-So I have to give someone a rat. -To Rubén.
-THE GAME'S CREATOR IS SPEAKING. -Whichever I want?
-The ugliest one? -I can give the lost one.
-Yes. -Well...
-Right? -No, you have to give him one in a sewer.
-Give me. Thanks. Great. -It shouldn't count then.
-Okay. -Let's go.
-I'm going to lose. I knew I should have attacked. I knew it!
-Damn, you're attacking with four? -Yes.
-There you go, one cheese. -I attack with one and you defend with four.
I thought he would attack me too, I didn't know with how much you'd attack.
-I went crazy. -And now we procreate.
Look how crazy I got.
-I mate and get two rats. -Look at me.
-Wow, so crazy. -Okay, so we put in seven and five.
Split it between you guys, I didn't get any.
-Seven. -And five.
-Nobody put them in here? -Yes, I put two.
-Okay, let's play. -Mine are in the love corner, defend and attack.
-I see, my friend! -Do you only have four?
Four what?
-Four rats. -Next.
-Four? I have all these. -Ah, okay.
-Two white ones. -And three purple ones.
-Huh? -Now I'll draw first.
Two.
Awesome!
Four. Álvaro has a rat army over there.
-Rat army! -So one, two...
-Three... -One, two, three, four, five...
-Six? -Okay.
-Okay. -More or less.
When Álvaro had lots of cheese, I went to attack with not many rats and he defended well.
It was then when my rats died and I got two points less.
One of my rats is going to starve.
-You have a whole bunch there. -Three, four, five...
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen. Wait, no.
-Thirteen. So five. -Ah, yes, we had to do it right.
-13 out and one dies, straight to the rat cemetery. -How about you, Álvaro?
-I... -You have a whole bunch too.
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine...
-Nine. -Three, you're going great.
-What if I throw one? -You don't have the most but you have cheese.
Alright, let's see what comes out.
-End of game. End of game, let's count the rats we have.
Nine, how many do you have, zero?
-No, I have... -Thirteen, minus two, twelve.
-12, 10, 11? -12 minus 1.
-Nine. Miriam has won the game. -I won!
Did you see? We're being applauded.
We have an exterior applause! Beautiful.
Like in a game show.
Well, guys. This was Ratland. Game by the new label Eclipse Editorial.
As you can see, it is a very friendly game. No attacks, no rivalry.
-It's suitable for children who are... how old? -Nine.
Nine year olds.
So great. Very soon it will be available in a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign.
Thank you for your time. See you on Mi Cabeza Friki's next episode. Applause!
Bye!
My main goal was making a fool out of Rubén, it's always good to do that in his own channel.
But I succeeded in that.
Álvaro, what did you like the most about Ratland? Drawings, cheeses, rats...
When I attacked Ramsés and stole all his cheese.
That's what you liked the most? Don't you feel sorry for poor Ramsés?
