Mouse Trap Cheese, Danger Zone & Launch-the-Trap Rules Explained
Mouse Trap C0431 uses color-coded board spaces to control its cheese economy and trap attacks.
Yellow Add-a-Cheese
Take one cheese wedge from the stash and add it to your cheese wheel.
Green Steal-a-Cheese
Take one cheese wedge from another player. You cannot steal from a player with no cheese.
Red Lose-a-Cheese
Return one of your cheese wedges to the stash. If you have no cheese, you remain in the game.
Blue Launch-the-Trap
Choose a player and move their mouse to the Cheesy Danger Zone, then launch the trap. If the cage catches that mouse, take one cheese wedge from them.
Cheesy Danger Zone
If you land there by exact count, you stop but the trap does not launch automatically. You remain vulnerable if another player later reaches a Launch-the-Trap space.
If the trap catches you
You stay in the game and remain in the Cheesy Danger Zone after the trap is reset, starting from there on your next turn.
Occupied spaces
If your move would end on a space occupied by another mouse, move ahead to the next available space.
