Here is a quick run down, hope it helps.
To Play
Choose a mouse and put them in a line along the black and white racing grid in front of the broom.
Put the ball into the kitchen sink which will set of the kitchen table trap with the broom and the mouse that is swept furthest starts the game, and play continues clock wise. Reset trap and put all theree balls inside the toilet and all mice back on grid.
On Your Turn
Roll and move the number of spaces shown. Players can share the same space. Follow arrows. When you meet a question mark you can choose which way to go.
Mousetraps
There are 3 mousetrap spaces. One by the broom, one on the toy box and one under the cage.
When you land on a Mousetrap take 2 cheese wedges that match your mouse. Check all the traps are set then flush the toilet.
If the mousetrap you are on is set off you and any other mice in that trap lose a cheese wedge. If another mousetrap was set off you are safe and keep your cheese, but if anyone else was under the other trap then they lose a cheese.
Put ball back in the toilet and reset. If trap goes off and mouse isn't caught ie. not set correctly then that mouse escapes.
Next Mousetrap ( The big orange arrows)
If you land on these it means that you move forward to the next mousetrap and follow the rules above .
Wake up Carlos ( the cat space)
If you land here all the OTHER mice go BACK to the nearest mousetrap space, unless they are already on one and then they stay there. They don't get any cheeses though.
Flush the toilet 3 times. If you are caught you lose a cheese, but can only lose 1 out of the 3 flushes
Spanner
Remember to put the spanner on the side of the toilet.
You can collect it if you land on the space with the exact number. You keep it until the toilet is about to be flushed later in the game and you are on a mousetrap. Then you can put the spanner in the works, there are places on the loop the loop, kitchen sink and wonky shelves. This will stop your mousetrap from working.
Once the toilet has been flushed you have to put the spanner back.
If someone lands on the spanner space before you have used it then they can take it away from you.
Booted out
If you are on this space and the kitchen sink trap is set off you are booted out. You move back to the last mousetrap ( the cage one) and do not collect any cheese. Then you flush the toilet.
Winning
You win when a player has all 8 cheeses, and has flushed the toilet for the last time.
If you get caught though you have to give a cheese back and play continues.
Apparently you don't have to dismantle it all to get it back in the box, just take the mousetraps off the gameboard and they fit in.
Hope that was helpful. We had great fun playing it this pm, even if ds2 age 3 kept knocking the cage down.
