From the box: Just press 'PLAY' and you're on the way, rappin' with a little rodent with a lot to say! RAP RAT - the host of this innovative, interactive Video Board Game for two to six kids who just want to have FUN! Sensational! Recreational! Inspirational! Educational! That's a FACT! Make up your color coded puzzle first, then press STOP to beat RAP RAT. But if the cheese gets eaten, you all get beaten!
In Rap Rat, players pick a color and roll a die to move to the colored spaces around the board and try to be the first player to collect all the pieces of the puzzle matching their color. The video acts as both a timer and as a random event generator. If no player collects all 10 of their pieces before the video ends, they all lose.
