The players are mice and try to collect cheese. There are three places on the board where cheese can be obtained. On one, the players can draw cards from a stack. They can draw as long as they want to, but when they draw a cat card, they get nothing. On another field, they can roll dice to venture into a mouse trap (either getting plenty of cheese or "being caught" (i.e. getting nothing at all). Finally, there is a wine cellar in which a spinning bottle determines whether a player gets new cheese or has to drop some. The first player to collect 30 pieces of cheese is the winner.
