About this game
Viva Mouse! sends a scurry of mice racing toward a mountain of cheese with one very hungry cat prowling the board. Roll the die and decide how far to push your luck: move your mouse forward, or grab a piece of cheese to stash away for points, knowing every roll also risks waking the cat and sending it after whoever is exposed. Balancing greed against safety is the whole game, and the tension of deciding whether one more roll is worth it never really fades. Quick, cute and sneakily strategic under all that cheese.
