About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for a tasty and strategic adventure in Château Roquefort! In this charming game, each player commands a troop of colorful mice on a mission to collect the most delicious cheese pieces scattered throughout the castle. On your turn, you'll have action points to spend wisely: bring new mice into play, reveal secret corridors that change the castle's layout, move your rodents through the maze, or, the big trick, push new puzzle pieces into the map, altering the path to the cheesy treasure. The key to victory lies in positioning two of your mice in the same location displaying a type of cheese. Did you manage it? Congratulations, another piece of cheese in your collection! The first player to gather four different types of cheese is crowned the grand cheese master. Château Roquefort is a great choice for families and those who enjoy games with a touch of memory and spatial planning, all wrapped in charming artwork and mechanics that adapt as the game progresses. It's one of those games that surprise with their simplicity and the fun they provide, perfect for warming up the table or for a quick, light game.
