Schmidt Spiele Mausefalle (German Import)

Note: This game is in German.  English rules can be found here.

Mausefalle is a simple die-rolling game for children that features the main character of a popular German children’s TV program, “Die Sendung mit der Maus” (The Program with the Mouse), which first aired in 1971.

Players take turns rolling the die and moving accordingly. If they end up on a spot showing a hole, they fall into the room shown below. On their next turn, they roll the die to see if (and where) they come out, as each room has several exits. The last room on the board has one exit that leads to a mousetrap, which makes the player lose two turns. The first player to reach the last spot on the board – the big cheese – wins!
