A light strategy game for two players, from the setting of the Mouse Guard comics and roleplaying game.
Each player controls four mouse pawns (white or black) on a 6-by-8 grid. Play involves a deck containing 10 of 3 types of cards (30 in total): Sword, Stronghold, and Diplomacy.
SetupTurn the board so that each player has 6 squares in front of them. One player takes one mouse of each color, hides one in each palm, and has the other player pick a hand, thereby selecting what color they will be. Each player then places their mice in any configuration on the two closest grid intersection ranks. Shuffle the card deck and deal 3 cards to each player. Black goes first.
