How much time was spent setting up this game for the 15 seconds of excitement it brought us.

First marketed in 1963, players helped build a mousetrap only to become opponents of each other, once the mousetrap was built.
Moving around the board with a mouse shaped game piece with the object to trapped your opponents in the mousetrap.

The game kind of lost its sizzle with me rather quickly, and I always ended up just resetting the trap and letting it go a few times, before I put it up.
