Who it's for

Families with kids who love a physical, shifting game board and the thrill of a good trapdoor surprise.

Not for you if…

You want a purely logical memory game, because the constantly moving maze adds a chaotic streak that rewards luck too.

About this game

Château Roquefort turns a castle into a living maze where the floor itself is out to get your mice. You spend action points sending mice inside, peeking under sliding roof panels, and shoving tiles around to reshuffle the hidden cheese pieces underneath everyone's feet. Land two of your own mice on the same cheese type and you claim a piece, but push the wrong tile at the wrong moment and a trapdoor can swallow a mouse whole. Collect four different cheeses before anyone else and you win, if your rodents survive the constantly shifting architecture long enough to get there.
