About the game

What you do in a play session

Cheese Chasers puts you in the paws of cheese‑loving mice while plump cats stand guard, ready to meddle. The goal is to surround the cheese, break the traps and get the mice to the prize before the felines catch them. The game works solo or cooperatively for up to four players, and everything can be printed at home – no heavy box required. Each round lasts about 10‑15 minutes, making it perfect for a quick break or warm‑up. You get two rule booklets (solo and multiplayer), four mouse tokens and 40 cards representing cheese pieces, traps and cat moves. Mechanics revolve around hand management, memory (remembering trap locations), tile placement and set collection of cheese cards. The board is modular, so the layout shifts each play, keeping things fresh. Because it’s cooperative, players must coordinate to encircle the cheese and open a path, yet the difficulty stays low with simple rules and a gentle learning curve. Ideal for kids 8+, families and groups who enjoy fast, thematic games without spending a dime beyond paper and scissors.
