Mission: Cheese!

mouse versus granny & cat

Once again, mice collect cheese, need to be faster than Granny and to beware the cat! The house providing a track for Granny at the box edge and a track for the mouse around the dice roof is set up and the dice roof put on top; the task cards are set out. All cheese portions are on the cat plate and the mouse plate is empty.

You throw the die into the roof; it rolls out through one of the doors and indicates the number of steps that the mouse can advance. If it reaches a cheese case, you resolve a task - name an item in the card color, or draw the depicted shape on the back of another player with your finger, he must guess the shape, or you imitate the depicted animal and the other players must guess the animal - and, if you succeed,   receive the indicated number of cheese portions for the mouse plate.

Arriving on a Granny case, you move Granny one step towards the door; on the arrow case you roll again. If you end up on the cat case or if the die rolls out of the cat door, you put back a  cheese portion to the cat plate. When players manage to collect all ten cheese portions on the mouse plate before Granny has reached the door, players win together. If, however, Granny reaches her door before that, Granny wins.

In the team version, each team keeps cheese portions earned by successfully completing tasks; when the cat plate is empty, the team with most cheese wins; if Granny reaches the door first, she wins.

A very well-used standard topic has been nicely repacked here; mechanisms are standard, too, and the dice roof is a nice detail. Worth mentioning is the clear, clean-cut graphic design, eminently suitable for children.
