First Rat

First Rat — a charming race game about sending the first rat to the moon.

Players build their rocket ships piece by piece, gathering resources and racing to launch before anyone else. The game blends resource collection with a fun race mechanic — you're always watching what opponents are building while pushing your own rocket forward. Light enough to learn quickly, with just enough decision-making to keep everyone engaged.

What really sets First Rat apart is how well it plays at 5 players — a count where many games start to drag or break down. It handles the full table without losing any of the fun.

🎲 What We Think at WiredVillage
We especially appreciate that First Rat works great at 5 — that's a rare thing. A lot of games say they support 5 but feel stretched at that count. Not this one. If you've got a bigger family or a full game night crew, this is a reliable pick that everyone can join.
