How to Play Mouse Trap: Cheese, Spaces, Tunnels & Winning
Mouse Trap C0431 is a 2–4 player roll-and-move game where the first player to collect six cheese wedges wins.
Setup
Assemble the trap, give each player one cheese wedge, place two bonus wedges on Start, put the rest in the cheese stash and place every mouse pawn on Start.
Determine first player
Roll the die; the highest result starts. Play then continues to the left.
Your turn
Roll and move clockwise the number of spaces shown, then follow the instruction for the space you land on.
Cheese spaces
Yellow adds one cheese from the stash. Green steals one from another player. Red returns one of your wedges to the stash.
Tunnels
If you land on a Mousehole Tunnel space, you may travel through to the matching-color exit.
Trap spaces
Blue Launch-the-Trap spaces let you send a player to the Cheesy Danger Zone and trigger the contraption. If the cage catches them, you take one of their cheese wedges.
Winning
The first player to collect six cheese wedges and complete a cheese wheel wins.
