Plaid Hat Games Mice and Mystics Board Game, Red

Product Information

They can leave you feeling that a good win is down to luck over skill, and that a bad loss is never down to poor choices but rolling a cheese wedge over rolling a sword. When you complete a scenario, you get to read another chunk of text from the storybook to find out what happens next—and to set up the next part of the adventure. These are a few of the issues that we came across in our limited pay through (we did not complete the game). The rules tell you that you can move to adjacent tiles, but due to the artwork of the boards, movement spaces are not lined up next to each other in a simple grid system (a common staple in dungeon-crawling games). My daughter's mouse kept hoarding cheese, at one point refusing to put any cheese on the wheel because there was a cheese shortage in the land and her character Maginos, the Mystic NEEDED his cheese.

Heroic Sacrifice (If fellow mouse receives wounds and would be captured, discard to ignore all those wounds and instead, capture this mouse. If you can get past the luck driven nature of the dice and the lighter combat rules, I think there is a lot of fun to be had here. Until the end of this turn, whenever this mouse makes a melee attack, add 1 to its battle during that attack. 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). So, honestly, my first pro for Mice and Mystics is that it is a wonderful choice if you are looking for a way to have a laid back role playing experience that can easily include non-gamers and younger kids (probably as young as 8-12).Join the community and come discuss games like Codenames, Wingspan, Brass, and all your other favorite games! This is because my boyfriend has a lot of nostalgia for stories like Watership Down , and this is one of the few games that he gets excited to play with me.

Not something that anyone wants in their board games, especially a campaign game that is supposed to be played over many sessions. You will also grapple with bigger foes like the dastardly crow that patrols the courtyard and Brodie, the castle cat. Mice and Mystics is designed by Jerry Hawthorne and published by Plaid Hat Games (neither of whom are involved in creating or maintaining this wiki). There are many situations when players will be facing a certain number of enemies but only have a limited number of miniatures to represent them; or too many enemy cards to fit in the turn tracker that is provided. During the chosen card's turn, roll an action die one at a time for each figure belonging to that card.When moving out of water, the rulebook specifies that you must roll a die, and if you roll a "star", then you successfully move out of the water. In fact, maybe the design was a little bit too safe, and if some risks were taken with combat mechanic, the game could be more exciting. For each cheese spent, remove 1 poison wound marker or 1 effect marker from a mouse on the same space as this mouse. Included in this expansion are new plastic figures, cards and counters, as well as a new series of chapters sure to test your mettle!
