As I remember when I was a kid, this game is a pain to set up and does anyone actually play the game? I don't know but I never have. We just make it trap the mice. I don't know what it is about this game but it's fun and never gets old. As expected, my daughter loves it just as much as I did when I was a kid. It's a must-own. You haven't had a childhood unless you've played Mouse Trap.
