Description:

Mice & Mystics is a cooperative campaign based board game where players take on the role of adventuring mice. Using teamwork, courage, and a little luck, the mice will explore their way through a series of interactive chapters trying to save their kingdom.

The game uses a simple set of rules that allow players to have all sorts of exciting adventures. Each chapter has its own special rules to give it unique storytelling opportunities. If you read through these special rules as you play, it can slow the game down.

Each mouse's turn consists of two phases: one movement and one action phase. The mice will face countless threats such as rats, cockroaches, mousetraps, spiders and the castle's housecat, Brodie. With the gathered cheese, players can obtain new abilities and improve their characters.

Setup

To setup a game of Mice and Mystics follow these steps:

Chapter selection: Choose a chapter from a Mice and Mystics story book. Depending on how many people are playing, some players may need to choose and control more than one mouse so that the correct number of mice are in the adventuring party. â€¦

Party Items Mice and Mystics

Some search cards are listed as party items. Party items are items that can be used freely by any mouse in the party. When a mouse receives a party item, place the card near the story control board and place any marker or token that might be associated with that item in the party stash area of the story control board.

Disguises

Disguises are bits of discarded rat clothing that can be put on to trick the rats. When revealing an encounter card, players may discard the Disguises token from the party stash to ignore all rat warriors for that encounter. Place any other minions from that encounter as usual. â€¦
