"No, I don't think it is down this hole"

Daughter's reaction after witnessing the "tragedy" of mice falling into the dungeon.

My storage solution; I cut foam to fit inside the turrets and then made spots for the bits. The foam protects the box from being crushed and keeps the roof bits in their places.

I know this may be cheesy, but, nothing like the real thing to bring out the mice!

My three youngest are excited to play Chateau Roquefort - or as my six year old daughter likes to call it: "The Cheesy Mousetrap Game"

Overview

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.
