In Rattus, set in 1347 AD during the outbreak of the Black Death, players settle regions of Europe and Northern Africa while navigating the spread of the plague. The game involves managing various professions and using their unique abilities to either help or hinder the plague's impact. Here's a quick overview:
Professions: Players can use medieval professions like Peasants, Bakers, Monks, Nuns, Knights, and Soldiers. Each has specific roles:
Peasants and Bakers: Help grow your population.
Monks and Nuns: Use wisdom and faith to avoid the plague.
Knights and Soldiers: Spread the plague to new areas.
Gameplay: Players aim to manage their population and adapt to the spread of the plague. The game progresses as the plague moves and affects different regions.
Victory Conditions: The game ends when the plague withdraws. The winner is determined based on who managed to keep the most of their population alive throughout the disaster.
