Prizes!!

Rat Prizes Lounge!

The Rat Zone

Rat sending simulator 2k13 starting area

It's not really much of a lounge, if we're being honest. More of a run-down shack, held up mostly by the sheer volume of corpses it contains. Thankfully, the Rat Zone is perfectly sanitary and the Lounge is entirely free of the hazards and undesirable qualities one would normally associate with a room filled with corpses. A vending machine sits behind a counter in the manner of a shop assistant. Please choose your desired purchase. Currency's Rat Points, of course.

500 Rat Points will buy you 1000 Rats. Better exchange rate!

            500
            You need Rat Points 500 (you have 31659)

            500
            Unlocked with Rat Points 500 - you have 31659

The vending machine whirrs, and shoots out a clod of rats directly at you. Fortunately, the physics of Rat Zone teleport the rats directly into the metaphysical plane where rats are stored. Thanks, physics!

You've gained 1,000 x Rat (new total 9,100).

You've lost 500 x Rat Points (new total 31,659).

The Well Card

The Rat Zone

In the centre of Rat Zone, there is a well. As with most things, nobody remembers when it was built or who built it. Or even where the geometric centre of the Rat Zone is. Nevertheless, it is there.
<p>A voice from inside the well tells you to throw rats down the well. Might as well. </p>

No luck finding wells in the Rat Acquisition Deck? Ratco does not encourage well liason, but if you're willing to spend the Rat Points you can get yourself a guaranteed meeting with a well.

            7777
            You need Rat Points 7,777 (you have 23882)

            7777
            Unlocked with Rat Points 7,777 - you have 23882

On closer inspection, the vending machine was actually a well all along. You proceed to do the things you normally do with a well.

You've lost 7,777 x Rat Points (new total 23,882).

<p>A voice from inside the well tells you to throw rats down the well. Might as well. </p>

Maybe seven isn't <i>quite</i> enough to satisfy a well.

            77
            You need 77 x Rat  (you have 9023)

            77
            Unlocked with 77 x Rat  - you have 9023

The well quakes violently. You fall over. Still, the well is not satisfied with the quantity of rats. Also, it siphons off a Rat Point somehow. Damnable thing.

You've lost 77 x Rat (new total 9,023).

You've lost 1 x Rat Points (new total 23,881).

Read it!

Maybe it'll reveal some of the secret mysteries of Rat Zone.

Don't read it!

Reading's for nerds. You're too much of a cool kid to read. Or maybe you're just so much of a supergenius that of all possible books that could exist, you already know all of the information contained within.

Read it!

Maybe it contains useful recipe ideas and tips.

            1
            You need 1 x Chef Hat  (you have 0)

Nobody's going to make you read a book! Reading's boring! In fact, you've never read anything in your life! You definitely aren't reading right now!
You absentmindedly collect some rats on your way back to wherever it is you spend most of your time not-reading.

Rat Gambling

The Rat Zone

Roll up, roll up! Bet a rat, maybe win a rat! The odds are... whatever the odds are today. Maybe you'll win the jackpot! Legend says it's enough to become a King, right there on the spot.

Gamble

Luck

Watch for the fall of a card.

A matter of luck: it could go either way.

Put one thousand rats in the Magic Wheel of Rat Fortune. If you win, you receive ten thousand rats. If you fail, you lose your rats. Maybe you'll hit the jackpot!

            1000
            You need 1,000 x Rat  (you have 9723)

            1000
            Unlocked with 1,000 x Rat  - you have 9723

Don't Gamble

You don't feel like gambling, or you're afraid of losing all your rats in a gambling binge. It's ok. You don't have to gamble.

Double or Nothing!

A simple game, but one that's made many a scavenger lose their haul. Flip a coin: Heads, you get double your rats. Tails, you lose everything. Are you up for it?

            5000
            You need 5,000 x Rat  (you have 9723)

            5000
            Unlocked with 5,000 x Rat  - you have 9723

Gamble: High stakes!

Luck

Watch for the fall of a card.

A matter of luck: the odds are strongly against you here.

Put ten thousand rats in the Advanced Wheel of Rat Destiny. If you win, you'll receive two hundred thousand rats. If you fail, you lose your stake.

            10000
            You need 10,000 x Rat  (you have 9723)

            10000
            Unlocked with 10,000 x Rat  - you have 9723
