_________________________
River Rats is a game for 1-4 players in which players try to defeat two bosses in cooperative poker. Each turn, players add a card to a collective hand and trigger any powers. At the end of the hand, players' hand is compared to the boss hand and which ever hand loses gains debt. Once both bosses are defeated by 5 debt each, players win the game. Players lose if they accumulate 5 debt.

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.
