Object of the Game
To be the player who forces the opponent to press the last mouse into its hole.
Basic Rules
Each player, on their turn, selects a row and presses down any number of mice they wish in that row only. (If they wish, they may press all the mice in a row in a single move.)
On their turn, the opponent selects any row with un-pressed mice (including the same row that the last player used), and presses one or more mice in the row.
The player who ends up pressing down the last mouse on the board loses the round. Flip over the playing surface and you're ready to enjoy another game! The player who wins three of five rounds is the winner.
Advanced Rules
The rules remain the same with the only difference being that players can only press any number of adjacent mice in a row. If there is an empty space between two mice, the player can only press several mice in a row as long as they are adjacent and are not separated by a space.
Diagram key (printed beside the advanced rules): Un-pressed (grey mouse), Pressed by Player 1 (black mouse), Pressed by Player 2 (white mouse).
Three example boards are printed with the advanced rules. The first and second carry a check mark, and the third carries an X mark. Each shows a row of pressed mice. The printed X example's pressed row shows no visible gap between its mice, so the reason for the X is not stated in the text; the diagrams are transcribed as printed and the check and X marks are reported as they appear.
