Plaid Hat Games Mice and Mystics Board Game, Red

Product Information

While having character classes and special abilities goes some way to make the mice heroes feel unique and decisions different from one particular game to another, repeating pretty much the same set of actions from turn to turn subtracts from that potential. I was really surprised how the game would shift from feeling like we were doing terribly to being on top of the cheese.

In the games, the players represent fantasy characters transformed into anthropomorphic mice, on a quest to defeat an evil witch. And, for the most part the story is interesting - though there are occasionally lines that make me cringe. Together, with the little help of some cleverly appropriated house hold devices, these heroes must save the king and his kingdom! Players read aloud from a storybook and the tiles that make up the board are all built around elements/locations of the story.For someone like me who has a lot of different games to play and rarely has time to play any one of them consistently, it’s probably not the right game. I think that children would enjoy the story and could grasp the basics of the game play fairly easy.

Open rules create the feeling that the player is not playing the game correctly, and this leads to an overall feeling of dissatisfaction. While there is still some control over what is happening in the game, through the hands of the GM or even through the script, for example in the Star Wars: Imperial Assault, the players feel like they are creating the story as they play.

As I have loved the world, I desperately want to immerse myself in the story where I can catapult myself using a spoon. Until this mouse's next turn, all mice on the same space as this mouse count as 2 successes instead of 1 when defending. Slow - Choose a minion card, all figures of that card cannot move or attack until this mouse's next turn. Mice and Mystics is a cooperative adventure game where the players must work together to save the kingdom.When attacking, you roll dice and compare the number of hits against the number of blocks - and if there are more hits than blocks, then damage is assigned (and if cheese is rolled, then the side that rolled it gets to collect cheese tokens). I really wish they had someone read through that and realize that the word dawdle sounds awkward when used twice in the same sentence. Mice and Mystics is a boldly innovative game that thrusts players into an ever-changing, interactive environment, and features a rich storyline that the players create as they play the game! Included in this expansion are new plastic figures, cards and counters, as well as a new series of chapters sure to test your mettle!
