The Quest for El Dorado is a game we really enjoy, so its dice-based counterpart had a lot to live up to. We were curious to see how Reiner Knizia had translated the journey through the jungle onto player sheets and replaced cards with dice. The goal remains familiar—reach the legendary city before your rivals.

The rats believe the Moon is made of cheese. Having found a comic about space travel in the junkyard, they now have both a destination and enough scientific evidence to start building a rocket. All that remains is to gather materials, stock up on supplies and prepare the crew. First Rat, published in Polish by Nasza Księgarnia as “Pierwszy szczur w kosmosie”, invites us to join this endeavour, although a shared dream soon turns into a contest over who has contributed the most to rat space exploration.
