Overview
A chain of plastic contraption parts, a marble and a rubber band form the trap at the heart of Hasbro's Mouse Trap. Players move mice around the board collecting cheese and setting off the trap to catch other mice.
Watching the contraption fire is the thrill that makes kids ask for another round. Small parts and a loose marble need supervision and careful storage so the trap still works next time.
Who it's for
Made for kids and grown ups who want quick laughs and a working contraption. Strategy fans and homes with very young children should look at other games.
Pros and cons
- Chain reaction trap is fun to watch
- Easier to set up than before
- Simple rules for young kids
- Plays up to four
- Small parts and a marble
- Lost parts break the trap
- Luck driven, little strategy
Performance notes
Each turn hinges on the die and on whether the contraption fires cleanly, so careful assembly matters more than tactics. A missing or bent piece can stop the chain reaction partway.
