Aus die Maus! (2004)

About this game

The objective of this children's game of luck is to have the most cards at the time that a player receives his ninth mouse chip. Players discard cards until a mouse card is discarded. The mouse card has one to three paw prints on it and the following player discards that many cards. If one of them is a cat card then the player who played the cat card earns a mouse chip and puts the entire discard pile at the bottom of his card pile; otherwise the player who played the mouse card gets the discard pile (but not a mouse chip).

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
