Editorial Review
Build a better mousetrap? We dare you. Naturally, the object is to trap mice in the mousetrap, while avoiding getting trapped. By rolling the die, you proceed around the game board, collecting cheese pieces and building a mousetrap bit by bit. Once complete, you set the wheels in motion, as it were, to try to capture the opposition's mice. But this is no ordinary trap. With this contraption you start by turning the crank, that rotates the gears, that push the lever, that moves the shoe, that kicks the bucket, that sends the ball down the stairs and into the gutter, that leads to the rod that releases a second ball, that falls through the bathtub and onto the springboard, that catapults the diver into the washtub, that causes the cage to fall and--whew!--hopefully, capture a mouse. The last "mouse" left uncaptured wins --Alison Golder

Customer Reviews
They just don't make them like they used too.
This game has been fun for our 7 year-old. She has enjoyed building it and playing the game.
I'm dissapointed as a parent with the quality. Toys in general just don't seem to be made like they used to. The sections slid around once they were attached to the gameboard which made the end of the game pretty dissapointing because the trap wouldn't always fall. But the kids do like it and it was a fun trip down memory lane for my wife and I.
PURCHASE WITH CAUTION
Buy this board game ONLY if you can answer yes to at least one of the following questions.
1. When you were young did you take pleasure in spending hours-- even days -- tinkering with old cars?
2. Do you enjoy taking apart and putting together broken items -- that never manage to work again?
3. Does frustration bring you happiness?
4. Do you have an engineering degree?
Poor construction
I bought this game for my children, because I remembered it from my childhood. Unfortunately, the construction of the pieces hasn't improved over time. The first problem is that the boot fits too tightly on the post ~ which makes it impossible for it to swing far enough to hit the next piece. The second problem that we had was that the helping hand doesn't hit the bathtub in a way to make it tilt right, no matter how we turn it. After a frustrating game that seemed to never end (until we started using our hands to compensate for the non-functional pieces), my kids have put this game on the shelf, and will probably never touch it again.
