Go da Cheese!

Cheese for Mice for cats for dogs

Mice look forward to cheese, cats to mice they will catch and dogs to cats they will chase away.

There are 15 animal cards in five colors – in each color nine mice, two with arrow, two Fat Mice, one King Mouse, two cats with arrows and one dog – and eleven cheese cards of values 2, 3, 4 and five and five player cards.

You shuffle and stack your animal cards and draw three of them, two randomly drawn cheese cards per player are laid out in a circle. The active player either draws three cards, hand limit six cards, or sets down three cards – the first face-down next to any cheese card, the second and third one openly to the next cheese cards in clockwise directions. Cards with an arrow are always played face-down. When all players have placed their cards with cheese, each row is revealed without changing the order and resolved from bottom to top. If there are dogs in a row, cats immediately in front or behind them go to the dog owners. Cats catch any kind of opposing mice up to a distance of three cards (including gaps). If the cat encounters dog, cat or cheese, the chase ends. Scored cats are removed. Remaining King Mice go to the top of the row. Remaining mice in a row eat cheese, beginning at the cheese, which states the number of mice it feeds. Mice that ate go to their owners. Then each mouse and King mouse in your stack scores 1 point, each Fat mouse 2 points and each cat 3 points, regardless of the colors.

So you need to pay attention, count arrow cards, bluff with dogs, count cats and place your cards cleverly in this fun and well-working family card game. The more players the merrier the chase!
