- OBJECTIVE
-
- The objective of Mice Moves is to push and position your blue mice
- as high as you can onto your opponents side of the game board.
-
-
- GAME PLAY
-
- At the beginning of the game, there will be a game board that will
- have your blue mice located at the bottom and your opponents red
- mice at the top. The computer will randomly select the player who
- will take the first move.
-
- When it's your turn to move, a blue referee mouse will appear on the
- bottom row of the game board. Using your arrow keys, you can maneuver
- this referee mouse up, down, right or left. Your move will be complete
- when you've pushed one of your blue mice either up, or to the right or
- left. You cannot push your mice down. The values your mice have on each
- row is indicated by the blue square to the left of the game board, and
- the red's value is to the right. Each row represents 5 points. So a
- blue mouse located on the 3rd row is worth 15 points (3*5)=15. The
- higher you can get your mice to the top of the board, the higher the
- point value will be. The same is true for the red mice, yet in reverse
- from top to bottom.
-
- If you can get your mice to reach the top row of the board, he will be
- worth 100 points and will be taken off the game board. The values of
- all the mice on the board, plus the mice you've pushed to the top of
- the board will comprise your total score.
-
- Each side will take turns pushing their mice until no further moves are
- possible. If one side cannot make a move, then the other side will take
- another turn if it is still possible for them to do so. If you push your
- mouse to the very side of the game board either right or left, then it
- will be removed from the board and NO POINTS will be awarded. Any player
- that has a valid move must make a move even if it is to your
- disadvantage to do so.
-
-
- CHEESE BLOCKS
-
- At the beginning of play the two sets of mice, both red and blue, are
- set-up in an identical arrangement. There are also random cheese blocks
- which are placed somewhere between the two opposing mouse teams. These
- cheese blocks cannot be moved and will remain there for the remainder
- of the game.
-
-
- SCORING
-
- The total running score for each side is located at the bottom of the
- board. All the mice on the board carry a point value corresponding
- to the row they are on. Therefore pushing a blue mouse from the 3rd row
- (15 points) to the 5th row (25 points) will add 10 more points to your
- score shown at the bottom. A blue mouse that reaches the very top row
- will be worth 100 points and will be removed from the board.
-
-
- STRATEGY
-
- As you begin to play Mice Moves, you will see that sometimes it is not
- to your advantage to always push your mice up the board, even though it
- is worth more points at that moment. Strategically blocking your
- opponents mice and trapping them at the top of the board becomes a
- very important element if one is to succeed in having the highest point
- total at the end of the game.
