Mouse Trap

Players move mice around a board by rolling dice to collect wedges of cheese from three separate contraptions that are assembled during setup. A central toilet mechanism is flushed at key moments to release a ball that activates one of the three Rube Goldberg–style traps at random; mice caught by a triggered trap lose a cheese wedge. Play continues with players racing to gather eight cheese wedges; the first player to complete a full circle of wedges wins.
