	Description Edit \| History

Rattus: Africanus, a new expansion for the 2010 release Rattus, introduces a caravan and diplomats to add more strategic possibilities to the game. What's more, with the introduction of region cards, players will have more control on possible outbreaks of the Black Death.

In addition to making Rattus feel like a completely new gaming experience, Rattus Africanus makes it possible to play the game with up to six players.
