Wholesale Ratzia

Ratzia is a portable card game auction game, based on the award-winning classic RA. You are a Ratzia boss, head of a family in the secretive rat mafia. To stop in-fighting and prevent any family from getting cheesed off, Ratzia bosses use a system of auctions to decide who gets which job or territory. Your goal is to use your Bidding cards to win Auction cards, building a collection of gangsters, stolen valuables, and even some legitimate businesses to make your Ratzia family the most successful. Avoid the Courthouse if you can — a court order could close one of your businesses! If the Police show up, hold a hasty auction to get rid of the evidence — but the seventh Police visit causes a raid that ends the round instead. Score points for your collection of Auction cards after each round, and for your legitimate businesses at the end of the game. The highest score wins the cheese! Designed by Reiner Knizia with art by Sarah “Freedz” Conlon. 2-5 Players, Ages 12+, 45 minutes
