Ratuki (pronounced ra-too-kee) is a fast paced card game where it’s always everyone’s turn. It’s quick to learn, easy to play and highly addicting! Each player (up to 5) starts with their own deck of 35 cards which contain the numbers one through five represented by various number symbols, roman numerals and English/Spanish words. Players race against each other to put their cards in ascending and descending sequential order on shared piles. When a player plays a five card, they shout “Ratuki” and claim that pile of cards. When a player has played all of their cards, game play stops and scoring begins. The first player to 100 wins.
Designed for ages 8 and up, Ratuki is described as “Intergenerational” which loosely translates to “fun for everyone!” Ratuki comes with 5 decks of cards and instructions. It retails for around $10.
I come from a family of card playing fools. We love card games! I like how quickly this one is to learn to play. You can introduce it to your friends and family and start playing without lengthily directions. Our kids aren’t old enough to play yet but that won’t stop my husband and I from some friendly competition!
