Mousetrap Reviews

Mousetrap is another much loved childhood game of mine. I would think twice about buying it for a child who is careless with their toys, however, as a broken or lost piece would be likely to render the whole game useless. The basic premiss is that you move your mouse playing piece around the board, landing on squares that enable you to ...  Read the complete review

Going through a spat of childhood memories with my games reviews, and which other game holds so many memories than Mousetrap? You take the part of a mouse, working your way around the board, trying to evade capture from the elaborate mouse trap. Should you set it off, the whole thing sets off a chain of events and catches you. It's one ...  Read the complete review

I absolutely love this game. I never actually had this as a child but my best friend did down the road and we used to play it all the time. My sad thrill was revisited when myself and my partner hired a gite in France last year and this was one of the games in the house. Her face was a picture when she walked in to my set up Mousetrap game and the ...  Read the complete review

I remember this game as a child and exactly what I remembered rings true for the current version. The game consists of a board and loads of platic bits that make up the mouse trap. You roll the dice and build up the trap as you play. The plastic parts slot into the cardboard playing board. First deja vu moment was trying to fit the plastic tabs ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review

After her deliberating what to do she decided to go and fetch mousetrap. I remember it from when i was young, but I remembered that my parents would never buy me ...  Read the complete review

This must be the most frustrating game to play, even more so than the actual game Frustration, the reason is that this game does not set out to be frustrating it just is. I remember when I was young wanting it so badly and then being disappointing well at the weekend it was ny neice turn to share the experience as she had got it for her ...  Read the complete review

Now, everybody loves Mousetrap, right? The kids' game which is all about building a fairly convoluted and complicated trap to catch a mouse. Of course. However, it's another thing whether anyone has even the slightest idea what the bloody rules or object of the game are. We're all so bloody obsessed with putting together the pieces ...  Read the complete review

Growing up in the late 80's/early 90's you could not escape adverts for this board game. There was even a TV programme or competition based on the board game I believe. You always knew someone who had the game, but were too afraid to ask. I pleaded with my parents to get me the game, sure enough, that Xmas.... First thing ...  Read the complete review

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 ...  Read the complete review
