Players attempt to move their mice (pieces) from the start to any of various goals. The further the goal, the more cheese (points) it is worth. Pursuing the mice is the cat that removes the mice from the game should it catches the mice.
Movement is controlled by a die which has 1/1/2/3/4/5 on the sides. The "1" sides also move the cat. Initial cat moves are only 1 space, but become 2 spaces, so the cat speeds up as the game progresses.
Game is a family game that has players managing risk/rewards as they attempt to avoid the cat in pursuit of cheese. Nice large wooden pieces and an oversized dice for components.
Recommended for ages 4 and over.
