In Mice and Mystics players take on the roles of those still loyal to the king – but to escape the clutches of Vanestra, they have been turned into mice! Play as cunning field mice who must race through a castle now twenty times larger than before. The castle would be a dangerous place with Vanestra’s minions in control, but now countless other terrors also await heroes who are but the size of figs. Play as nimble Prince Collin and fence your way past your foes, or try Nez Bellows, the burly smith. Confound your foes as the wizened old mouse Maginos, or protect your companions as Tilda, the castle’s former healer. Every player will have a vital role in the quest to warn the king, and it will take careful planning to find Vanestra’s weakness and defeat her.
Mice and Mystics is a cooperative adventure game in which the players work together to save an imperiled kingdom. They will face countless adversaries such as rats, cockroaches, and spiders, and of course the greatest of all horrors: the castle’s housecat, Brodie. 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 help create as they play the game. The Cheese System allows players to hoard the crumbs of precious cheese they find on their journey, and use it to bolster their mice with grandiose new abilities and overcome seemingly insurmountable odds.
Mice and Mystics will provide any group of friends with an unforgettable adventure they will be talking about for years to come – assuming they can all squeak by…

Engrossing, Thematic Fun This game has incredible atmosphere, with a full story book to walk you through (each scenario is called a “chapter”). Basically you are (former-human) mice exploring a castle and battling rats, spiders, centipedes, etc, even the castle cat Brodie.
Lots of fun for all ages We bought this because we were looking for a game similar to descent but without the need for an overlord. My husband and I like to play games together and this one is perfect because we can each control 2 mice without having a separate player as a bad guy. Or at least that was the plan… but when my 6 year old daughter saw the mice figures she immediately wanted to play. So right now she plays 1, I play 1 and my husband plays 2 and we are all enjoying this game immensely!
Fun Purchased this game after reading reviews on lots of games on boardgamegeek.com. Wanted something that my fiance and I could play just the two of us but that could also accommodate more players (up to 4) if we had friends over. There are always 4 characters playing the game. So if only two people can play, then each plays as two characters instead of one. We often play with 3 people so one person plays as two characters.
