Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Mouse Trap (originally Mouse Trap Game) is a 3D board game for two to four players. Each player is a "mouse" that follows a set path around the perimeter of the board, advancing according to the throw of a single die. Landing on a particular space allows each player to install one particular component of a Rube Goldberg Device that will occupy most of the playfield when completed. There is no finish line or home space; the end of the path is a loop of six spaces. Once the entire device has been assembled, it becomes a matter of elimination by chance. One player's mouse must be on the Cheese Wheel space, and another player must immediately land on the Turn Crank space (although a player can force an opponent onto the Cheese Wheel; see Practical Currency below). The contraption is started, and usually (though not always) runs its ridiculous course until it drops a cage over the Cheese Wheel, thereupon removing any mouse from play who occupies that spot.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The game was introduced by Ideal Toy Company in 1963. Ideal was subsequently absorbed by Milton Bradley, which in turn was assimilated by Hasbro. The pieces have gone through a few name and style changes over time, but the overall contraption and gameplay remain the same. | |

Blessed with Suck: Rolling small numbers and advancing slowly is advantageous, as it keeps that player away from the dreaded Cheese Wheel. The players that roll big numbers and arrive at the end loop thereafter run a 1-in-6 chance of landing on the Cheese Wheel, where they can only pray no other mouse lands on the Turn Crank space once the trap is completed. | |

Beware of Vicious Dog: Implied with the Mad Dog space at the midpoint of the game. A player who lands there must retreat to a space marked with a bone (or an X in earlier versions). | |

Amazing Technicolor Wildlife: The four mouse pieces are red, yellow, green, and blue. The mice on various box art are also those colors, though unusually, the instruction manual from a mid-to-late 2010s version depicts a brown mouse and gray mouse. | |
