About this game

Wise clan leaders know the old saying: "The second mouse gets the cheese!" Now it's time to claim your cheese supremacy! In Head of Mousehold, you are the leader of a mouse clan battling for cheese morsels in a house full of traps! Carefully choose the best mice to send on perilous missions in order to outwit the opposing mouse families. Place your mouse cards under the right mousetraps and claim the most cheese points by the end of the week. Have the most cheese points at the end of five game turns, and you win!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.7/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
