This box set is really well done. The art is great the dice are a fun extra as are the cards. The meat of the box set is a soft cover version of the hardback rule book and an adventure book. The starting adventure is a good way for new players and gms alike to start a new game. My only wish was that there needed to be a set of fold up mouse tokens to represent the players. The plastic mouse tokens are okay but kind of dull. Everything is of a high quality and the setting is unique enough to interest a wide band of players. If you are a fan of the comics check out the boxed game you won't be disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars Just a little to perfection, January 2, 2012

You must know this: Mouse Guard RPG is awesome. Maybe one of the greatest RPGs out there. If you don't have hardcover version already, I recommend this one, but keep in mind: books printed colors are not as good as hardcover version. Mouse Pawns are oversized, you can't use them with the small map included. GM Screen has great artwork and info, but it could be sturdy like modern screens. Cards, dice and supplement are the best part, love them! I miss some tokens to count Fate, Persona and Disposition points and some "conflict cards" that are declared in the adventure booklet, but in fact are not included.

If you have never played a tabletop RPG before or want to get friends or spouse or your kids interested in traditional RPG's this is possibly the best introductory RPG product ever made.

For experienced RPG players this game will wow you with its elegant simple-yet-deep system.

The production quality for this boxed set is off the charts. Even the top game companies in the world have never matched the beauty and quality of this set. From the moment you get the box you are greeted with beautiful art and design, sturdy production, and a box full of goodies that are also extremely useful in play.

Based on the charming (and somewhat grim) Mouse Guard graphic novels, this is an unrelenting world reminiscent of Secret of NIMH meets D&D. It is material perfectly acceptable for kids, yet also operates on a level that adults can appreciate and be engaged in.
