CAtch mice with cheese

The kitchen of Castle Cheeseburg is full of little mice, they must be caught with cheese. Each player takes a board - they must all use the same side of the double-sided board, one side shows more room between mice than the other side - depicting lots of little mice in red, blue, green and yellow; 16 cards show three mice in varying color combinations and are stacked face-down.

The first card is turned over; all slide their cheese over their board and try to make the combination that is depicted on the card appear in the holes of the cheese - bodies are sufficient, tails need not be visible. If you manage this first, you hit the card and take it, if your cheese shows the correct combination. If one or more other players found the combination, too, they all roll a die twice to achieve the symbol depicted on one of the three mice. If they are successful, they take a card, too. Whoever has collected four cards first, wins.

In Variant 1 for younger players, all players search for the combination; when all have found it, the roll the die in turn, 2x, and take a card if they roll the symbol of the mouse. In Variant 2 for players with different playing experience you can use different sides of the board accordingly. In Variant 3, the die is not rolled; only the player who found the correct combination first, takes a card. In all those variants the winner also is the player who has collected four cheese cards first.
