Advantages: cheap, fun for kids

Disadvantages: takes ages to set up and frustrationg

Always wanted to play this game as a child but never came around to it, so recently I bought it for some cousins and told them id put it up for them.
Mousetrap is ages for ages 6+ and suggests a parent 'helps' to assist putting it up! WELL! I will say it was a total nightmare! The instructions were useful but didnt explain fully and we had a lot of trouble connecting it together. I found that a lot of the pieces didnt slide together as easily as they should and took a lot of force, leading to bit snapping off an such. In total, I believe it took about 2 hours! Needless to say we only played it that once and never again since!

I will admit... It is a fun game and traps are good how they are connected etc but sometimes they dont work properly and I had to take time out of the game to fix things! Also, some of the contraptions didnt work fully so the traps didnt work as fluently as they should have.

I got this game from asda not long ago and cost me roughly £10 which is a lot cheaper than games used to be!

I would only recommend this game if you dont mind taking times putting things up and have patience!

Summary: dont do it to yourself..
