This page is for the classic versions with a bathtub component. For the revamped versions with a toilet component, see the new Mouse Trap page.
Mouse Trap pits 2-4 players against each other as mice trying to navigate through a complex mousetrap. They build the Rube Goldberg inspired mousetrap as they move their mice across the board. They also try to collect cheese cards, which allow them to move other mice to cheese wheel which is the bait for the trap. Once it has been completely constructed, players can attempt to capture each other's mice in it by turning the crank, which activates it. If it doesn't malfunction, the mouse is captured and out of the game. The winner is the last mouse who avoids being trapped. The game's main appeal is the ridiculously complex contraption that is the mousetrap. Somehow even young children can figure out how to assemble it from the blueprints on the board, and everyone enjoys watching it do its magic.
