About River Rats, from BoardGameGeek:
River Rats is a cooperative, strategic hand-management game set aboard a luxurious futuristic riverboat, where the bionic River Rats, the upper-class guests, force the crew into high-stakes poker games for their amusement.
Players take on the roles of the crew, working together to outplay the Rich Rats by crafting stronger poker hands. Using teamwork, clever hand management, and strategic planning, they must manipulate the game to shift the odds in their favor.
Each of the four crew factions (♣♦♥♠) has unique abilities, and players must combine their faction powers with their own special actions to outwit the Rich Rats and send them back to their cabins a little poorer than before.
Defeat both River Rats by ensuring each accumulates five Debt before you collectively gain five Debt.
