Plaid Hat Games Mice and Mystics Board Game, Red

Product Information

In October 2018, DreamWorks Animation acquired the rights to the role-playing game. A feature film is in development. Alexandre Aja, long-time horror film director, will be directing and writing the film's script along with David Leslie Johnson. Vertigo Entertainment’s Roy Lee and Jon Berg are producing. [9] See also [ edit ] I wasnt ready for something as complex as Dungeons and Dragons and have never been into the really harcore RPG's that require tons or modifiers, stat sheets and seriously in-depth role playing - which doesnt often fit younger kids attention spans anyway... The campaign is split across eleven chapters in the storybook, ‘Sorrow and Remembrance’, with each chapter representing one game. As eleven games might be daunting for some, it is possible to play the chapters as individual games and not part of a longer campaign. Some chapters even come with special instructions to make this possible. This also gives the game replayability once the campaign is completed. Mice and Mystics is a boldly innovative game that thrusts players into an ever-changing, interactive environment, and features a rich storyline that the players help create as they play the game. The Cheese System allows players to horde the crumbs of precious cheese they find on their journey and use it to bolster their mice with grandiose new abilities and overcome seemingly insurmountable odds. I have been looking for a fun and engaging alternative to video games for me and my kids. We like board games, but we all really like role playing games, and bulk of them are video game platforms - which are not providing enough imagination or personal interaction amongst our family so we're boxing up the wii and ps3 for something more tactile...

FUN FOR FAMILY GAME NIGHT: Mice & Mystics is the perfect game for family night or gaming events. Part fairytale and part game, this storybook will provide any group of friends with an unforgettable adventure they will talk about for years to come.So what is the primary concern? The game is marked as ages 7+. True, my kids are already broken-in on dice rolling games (ages 7 and 5). By no means would I ever expect my 7 year old to grab this off the shelf and play by himself or with his sister. There are a great deal of rules and pieces. There are 2 books. The rules, and the adventure book (how to set up each unique story). Sure, my kids could both put pieces on the board and make their own adventures. Learning the dice combat and cheese system is easy: That I agree, but to play the game "as intended by the books" I find it hard to believe. Some lego sets are labeled 7+, and my kids can figure those out, but this is a different animal. This isn't Candyland. a great way to spend rainy day or cold winter evening - without commercials or contollers in your hand... awesome! Its a good story line that most 8-yr olds should be able to read aloud (even if they can't understand all of the vocabulary used)

The miniatures are a bit small (like the tab of a soda can), but it makes sense. Mice are all so unique and cool. The game will play well on most dining tables. The board "tile" placement doesn't get too out of control so space isn't the primary concern (in contrast to Wrath of Ashardalon where the dungeon goes all over the darn place and you wind up moving things around just to make more room). You work together, as a team, and while it is subtle in the rules - you can really improve your chances by "sharing and helping" your party members. Whether it is the sheer joy at finally defeating Skitter-Clak the centipede and shooing off Brodie the Cat before he totally wipes out your entire rodent troop or the despair of failing chapter three for the fourth time (this will probably happen), Mice and Mystics offers all the exhilarating highs and soul-crushing lows you could ask for in a mid-priced box. The art work is amazing and the miniatures that come with it are of good quality (although a little small) I can't wait to paint them (will be my first time)HIGHLY VARIABLE: This boldly innovative game thrusts players into an ever-changing interactive environment and features a storyline that players help create as they explore the world and advance the adventure. I just bought 3 big dungeon crawler type games: Descent (2nd ed), D&D Wrath of Ashardalon, and Mice and Mystics.
