Maus au Chocolat (2009)

About this game

Chocolate, nuts, fruits, cream. Collect ingredients for great sweets and cakes in order to create small delicatessen. But the highest ingredient values do not always ensure you the win. If Maestro Mouse steers in the pots, he gets help from other kitchen aides, which are rather unusual as kitchen personnel: cockroaches , beetles and other insects cavort in the kitchen of the Paris Chocolatiers.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 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.
