This game was played on the floor with 2 dice, a large mat with a large circle on it and small ones around the inside perimeter, small corks attached to string, a large lid "trap" with handle & pennies. Each person was given the same number of pennier & put their cork "mouse" on a place in the circle drawn on the mat. One player held the lid trap in one hand & threw 2 dice with the other. When certain numbers were rolled, the thrower tried to trap the mice with the lid, while the remaining players tugged their mice to safety. Any mouse caught had to pay a penny. Dice thrower would also try to fake out players, and if they pulled their mouse out on wrong numbers, they had to pay a penny. If dice thrower put the trap down by mistake, he had to pay a penny to everyone who didn't pull out. When snake eyes (?) were rolled, the dice passed to the next player. Winner was one with most pennies at end of game.
