Mouse Trap Board Game for Kids Ages 6 and Up, Classic Game for 2-4 Players, with Easier Set-Up Than Previous Versions

Definitely not the 80s version i played as a kid, but all the pieces were there, building it was fun, quality was good. small differences like theres no rubberband, you have to push it yourself to start it, and theres a new bucket system to get to the tub, but i enjoyed it. short games, easy to play with small kids, but an older kid would need to help put it together. trap works almost every time unless the parts are set correctly

great kids game

Kids love this game! It does take a minute to set up, our oldest is 6 and can easily play but needs help setting it at the beginning and resetting it.

Still fun.

Had the original and lost a few pieces. My son loves this game so got this one. The mice pieces are very big and he doesn't like them. I wish I kept the old ones. Fun game.

family favorite that had fallen to pieces and happy to have this new and improved one!

Bought for my grandsons' birthday. We had a fun playing and made new memories too.

First you need to assemble the board full of colorful plastic parts, which was a little confusing but all eventually came together. The drawback is that you can't (and don't really want to) disassemble it all to fit back into the box for storage, so you need to have another space available in which to keep it. Once put together, everything works well so long as it's on a level surface that will allow the little metal ball to roll easily through the course and end up dropping the trap on a mouse. The young kids (ages 4 and 7) like collecting the wedges of cheese to make their wheel, but what they love the most is sending someone's mouse to the trap and then watching the metal marble make its way through the maze and then drop the trap over the mouse. This is not so much fun for adults, other than getting a kick out of watching the young ones have fun. There's no real strategy or challenge involved to keep adults interested. You roll the dice, move that many spaces, and do what that space says or collect a piece of cheese - that's basically it. The game cost just over $15, which is a decent price for a game these days, but I don't think that I would have bought it if I had known about its assembly or game play beforehand. But the kids really do like it. So if you have enough young ones in your family to play, go for it. But if adults have to play so there are enough game players, you may want to think twice - instead buy "Taco vs. Burrito" (invented by a 7-year-old!) for a few bucks more and have a great game that both young and old will thoroughly enjoy!
