Shoo, get away! Was that really Gary Gouda the mouse cheese-hunting
again? The greedy mouse just cant stop! Not one piece of cheese is safe
and he even risks becoming stuck in the mouse holes with his b
ig
bel
ly
.
He
real
ly
should have memorized by now which holes he can pass through
after eating one, two or more
pi
eces of cheese! He also has to avoid the
quick pet cat, Kiki, who always seems to be rea
dy
to pounce on the next
mouse hole.
Can

and

the most pieces of cheese?

blocking his way, again and again.
Whoever is able to memorize a suitable path through the apartment an
d
collect the most cheese will win this witty cheese heist.
Preparation of the Game
Before starting to play for the rst time you must slide the mouse holes into
the slots in the walls. The eight violet mouse holes mark the four corners
and the orange mouse holes should be slid randomly into the other slots in
the walls. Make sure none of the mouse holes stick
o

ut

.
Place the cheese a
pa
rtment in the center of the table and
pl
ace the cheese
tiles with the symbols face-down next to the game box.
Place the cat in front of any orange mouse hole and get Gary and the die
rod ready.
How to Play
Who can eat the most cheese at one sitting?
This player starts and draws four cheese tiles. The symbols on the back
are also shown on the oor of the room. Place the four tiles face down
in
the corres
po
ndin
g
rooms.
Hint:
It may happen that you have to put two tiles in one room.
In this case you have to stack the tiles.
Now roll the die rod and place Gary in the corner of the color that appears
on the die.
Then you roll the die rod once again. The color shown indicates which
corner is the target corner

The next player takes as many cheese tiles as he needs so that there are
four tiles distributed in the apartment and places them there. This player
can now try his lucky mouse dip and hopefully
will have memorized the
size of the mouse holes.
End of the Game
The game ends as soon as there are not enough cheese tiles left to have four
distributed in the a
pa
rtment.
The player who has collected the most cheese tiles at this moment wins and
