About the game
In Mouse Maze, you step into the shoes of a young scientist at the cutting-edge ZooLabs, where rat intelligence is being studied to aid in disaster situations. Your mission? To construct the most ingenious mazes for your little rodents to explore! It's a flip-and-write game where each round, a card reveals the type of walls you can draw to build your maze. The twist? While you draw the walls, it's your opponent who decides the path the little mouse will follow, and believe me, they'll try to mess with you! The goal is to guide the mouse through cheese and candy (positive points) while simultaneously trying to block or close off dreaded mousetraps (negative points). The game shines with its 30-episode campaign, split into 10 chapters, which gradually introduce new rules and challenges, making each playthrough a discovery. And the best part: you can play the episodes separately, out of order, and even increase the player count. It's 30 games in one, perfect for those who enjoy a quick, clever challenge with a dash of competition and plenty of replayability. Ideal for solo play or with up to 4 friends, in sessions lasting around 20 to 30 minutes.
