About this game
Each player controls colored mice and tries to collect pieces of cheese in Castle Appenzell. On their turn, players spend action points to put new mice into play, reveal corridors in the castle, move their mice around the castle, or push a tile into play, which changes the maze of cheese pieces underneath. If two of a single player's mice reach a place with the same kind of cheese showing, the player obtains a piece of this cheese. The first player with 4 different pieces of cheese wins the game.
Does it fit your group?
- Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
- Rules load. At 1.6/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
- Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
