Aus die Maus! is a board game released in 2004 for 2–6 players, 20 minutes per game, and ages 6 and up. It was designed by Haim Shafir.
The objective of this children's game of luck is to have the most cards at the time that a player receives his ninth mouse chip. Players discard cards until a mouse card is discarded. The mouse card has one to three paw prints on it and the following player discards that many cards. If one of them is a cat card then the player who played the cat card earns a mouse chip and puts the entire discard pile at the bottom of his card pile; otherwise the player who played the mouse card gets the discard pile (but not a mouse chip).
Aus die Maus! supports 2–6 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Aus die Maus! is 20 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Aus die Maus! for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Aus die Maus! has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
