Product Information

When you land on one of these spaces, take the indicated number of Cheese pieces from the Cheese pile. If the Cheese pile is empty, take the Cheese pieces from the opponent with the most Cheese pieces. Immediately after placing a part of the Mouse Trap on the gameboard, take one Cheese piece from the pile. Your turn is then over. Collecting Cheese Pieces: As your mouse moves around the gameboard, you will collect Cheese pieces from the Cheese pile and from your opponents. You may use Cheese pieces later in the game to help you spring the trap on your opponents7 mice. More about this later in the instructions. You may only use your cheese pieces when you are on the Turn Crank space. If an opponent's mouse is on the Cheese Wheel space when you land on the Turn Crank space, you may still use your Cheese pieces to try to get other opponents' mice onto the Cheese Wheel space before setting the Mouse Trap in motion.

Whenever you land on a Build space that's located on The Loop section of the gamepath, you add two parts to the Mouse Trap and take two Cheese pieces from the Cheese pile. Your turn is then over. Once the Mouse Trap is complete, you do nothing when you land on a Build space. On your turn, roll the die and move your mouse the number of gameboard spaces shown. Then follow any instructions printed on the space you land on. Two or more mice may be on one space at the same time. Items that are not available in store will take 3-5 working days (excluding weekends and bank holidays) to be delivered to your nominated store.What remains an intrinsic element to the gameplay is that sometimes the mechanism just doesn’t work and turning the crank creates only frustration and groans from the players at the malfunctioning machinery. Despite this, or for some players perhaps because of it, the game has enduring appeal and at the time of writing it’s still being published - currently by Hasbro. In 2004, forty-one years after it first went on sale, it was one of the UK’s 50 top- selling toys. The sense of wonder and joy at building an overly complicated contraption and watching the cause and effect of the machinery performing a simple task (or sometimes not!) is central to the game’s popularity.

When you end your turn by landing on the Turn Crank space and there is no op- posing mouse on the Cheese Wheel space, try to move an opponent's mouse onto the Cheese Wheel space and then try to trap that mouse. Here's how: When an opponent's mouse is on the Safe space (located on The Loop), you cannot try to move that mouse onto the Cheese Wheel space. The gameplay of Mouse Trap involves players taking it in turns to roll the die and move their mouse-shaped game piece the appropriate number of squares. As players race around the board, they land on squares instructing them to build the three-dimensional mouse trap, following instructions illustrated in the centre of the game board. Once the mouse trap has been built, the aim of the game is to trap your opponents’ mice, which eliminates them from the game. Last mouse surviving, wins.Example: If you are the first player to land on a Build space, you would place part #1 (Base A) on the game- board. The next player to land on a Build space would position part #2 (Gear Support) in place and so on until the Mouse Trap is completed. These are the six spaces at the end of the path beginning with the Safe space and ending with the Cheese Wheel space. This section of the path is called The Loop and it is where mice are captured.
