Mice and Mystics

Mice and Mystics is a fantasy-themed dungeon crawling cooperative board game designed by Jerry Hawthorne and published by Plaid Hat Games in 2012. In the games, the players represent fantasy characters transformed into anthropomorphic mice, on a quest to escape from the evil wizard's lair. The game has been praised for its original theme, with player's characters using buttons and needles instead of shields and swords, and fighting insects and cats instead of goblins and dragons.^[1]^[2]^[3]^[4]
