Advantages: It was dead exciting......when you were 4

I cannot believe that this is the first opinion on Mousetrap. Mousetrap was the favourite game at our primary school. If you didn't have Mousetrap you didn't have respect.

Basically you were a mouse and you rolled the dice to get along the board, however there were loads of traps on the way, and whenever you landed on an "add a piece" spot you had to add an extra piece to the big mousetrap, which was a very complex contraption which you built along the way and consisted of many weird things like a diving man, a ball into a bath, a boot and a bucket tipping a ball out. When the trap was built you had to turn the handle if you landed on that spot.....and if you were a mouse under the trap you lost the game.

Mousetrap was the best game....EVER when I was little and it still seems good now. It did seem to get a bit repetitive after time and also didn't work as well 'cos we lost most of the smaller bits which were sort of neccessary for the game.....but nevertheless Mousetrap is a true classic, it should be compulsory in schools to show kids what real games are.

brought back happy memories of 'games day' at school when we were allowed to bring in our toys and spend the afternoon playing...sigh....it' s so different now to 'in MY day' ;-D you're right, kids should be taught what real games are.

I don't think we had this game at our school (shock horror!). We were all into Twister, Screwball Scramball (what a name!) and The Game of Life....

Good op,

Zoe :)
