However, there are some ineresting things about this game.
Firstly, the box itself is the 3D board. The insert becomes the traps, over which a grid is placed along which the slider tiles will move. The whole thing is covered with roof sections. A mouse is placed in each corner tower and play begins.

Each turn, you get 4 action points:
Lift off a roof tile - this exposes the grid and which tiles the roof is hiding.
Play a mouse - this is the only way to get more mice into play
Move a Mouse - Move a mouse across a roofless space
Slide a tile - Push in a slide tile which causes all the tiles in that row to move

The object of all this lifting, moving, and sliding is to get mice of your colour onto two matching cheese tiles at the same time. Whenever this happens, you collect the matching cheese counter, and the first person to get four different cheese counters wins. Simple as that... or is it?

At first, this seems to be a simple memory game and played with the family its an entertaining game played this way. However, the sliding tiles and moving roof tiles tiles adds a further level of complexity and this actually becomes a light, entertaining filler for gamers as well. I've played it several times with adults only and it becomes quite a challenging puzzle to get your own cheese sets while at the same time trying to thwart your opponents from doing the same. It's a light, fun game not to be taken too seriously. Everyone laughs when a mouse plunges to its doom!

Review by Brian

Cheesy Gonzolas is an expansion for the base game. It adds an extra tower, some tiles, a special mouse wearing a sombrero and makes it possible to play with 5 players.Not to mention the box is a storage box for the original game components as well as the expansion components. The Publisher describes it as "The hungriest mouse under the cheese sky sprints arrow fast over roofs. With its Sombrero it is immune even to mousetraps. In addition, all other rodents let it be gone well: A secret course to the storage room provides for inexhaustible palate joys. And the new siege tower is used by the rodents only too gladly for a round trip around the "largest mousetrap of the world". Cheesy Gonzola spoils the castle friends with a development of the three-dimensional experience world and offers further variety at possibilities of action, which are everything else as "cheese".
