I like the cards, looking for cards in other packs, trading with others. There’s a great community of packratters who help each other out. Been playing for years and it’s still fun ### 1/5 — WTF *2026-01-21* Yesterday I played but this morning I go to play and I can’t because it wants me to log in?? I pay for XL and now my game is gone?? What’s up with that? ### 4/5 — Boomerang player .. addictive *2025-08-15, version 2.4.6* I’ve played this game since it originated in 2008. I have taken some breaks, it’s so easy to pick up if you know your identification/log in. I love the graphics, the features of stealing and swapping cards. With the paid subscription, additional features of selling cards is essential to keep topping up your credits. There is a sense of community within the players, using a platform on Facebook, there are additional ways to buy and sell cards. (Unrelated to the devs) One thing I do feel aggrieved about though. Is the subscription fee has gone up which I don’t mind paying as I love the game. Cost of living etc. but why hasn’t the features also increased ? Daily credits for log in, still only 10,000 for feating a set. (Since 2008!)I really do think it’s poor thinking for all the loyal players you have. It can be hard to keep up with the game due to lack of credits. Particularly for newish players. I know you have lost players too over this. I’d love to see the game thrive like it did.. more opportunities. Update. The game keeps having problems with the server disconnecting the game .. which mean we risk losing our cards, stolen by the rats! You need to communicate with us and fix it please. ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-07-31* Trash ### 1/5 — No idea where to start *2024-11-15, version 2.3.10* Honesty I downloading game there was no tutorial or anything after a few minutes I just deleted in frustration ### 2/5 — The arcade… *2024-05-06* Feels like a scam. The higher the risk, the higher the reward, that’s the purpose of putting higher bid options. Yet, there are many plenty of times I’ve won more in a game from the smart bids than the higher ones. There’s no consistent winning schematic. It just shoots out random numbers. At the very least, winning solitaire should reward you with more than half of what you paid to play. It costs $100 for 1200 tix. I blew through 1200 tix in flip rat, lost all my tix and not even one flip card. Don’t be fooled by the “win up to 25x” or whatever it is they have on there. You could win that, but after hours and hours, days after days of solitaire and flip, I have never won that much. As all things, the system is set up to make you fail, however, they take no effort in at least making it feel promising. Anyways, don’t waste your money on this game. ### 5/5 — My Go-To Game *2024-03-21* The cards are beautiful and whenever I think they’re going to run out of ideas for new sets, I’m always proven wrong. You might think it’s impossible to catch up, but there are so many friendly players who want to help! I just wish the in-game forum was used more so I don’t have to turn to facebook to know what’s going on. Anyway….. Play PackRat! ### 4/5 — Boomerang player .. addictive *2024-02-12, version 2.2.8* I’ve played this game since it originated in 2008. I have taken some breaks, it’s so easy to pick up if you know your identification/log in. I love the graphics, the features of stealing and swapping cards. With the paid subscription, additional features of selling cards is essential to keep topping up your credits.

For the past 2 months, the iOS app has been glitchy. Even though I’m up to date on my iOS version and this app version, sometimes whenever I pull open the game, it doesn’t go beyond the Packrat screen. Sometimes, it asks me to log on to Facebook however, I don’t use Facebook for my login. ### 3/5 — Swipe too difficult *2023-04-09* Swipe feature isn't responsive. I preferred it when it was first released. I don't like how the status shrank and the spacing of the cards in my pack doesn't look right in order to accommodate the scrapbook feature, which I will never use. ## Frequently asked questions about PackRat Card Collecting ### What is PackRat Card Collecting?
