Pen and Paper Rulebook with Tons of Awesome Extras

Reviewed in the United States on February 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

The book itself does a great job explaining pen and paper role playing, especially if your new to the genre. I was especially impressed with the quality of the GM screen and the decks of cards. While not needed to actually play they really show the effort and care put into the product.

Rules are simple enough and do a great job at rewarding you for playing/acting out your role well. The Rulebook alone has tons of amazing art and info fleshing out the world.

I wouldn't even consider getting the standard rulebook only. The extras are very much worth it.

Comes with:
Softcover Second Edition Rulebook
Map
GM Screen
4x packs of Conflict/Weapon/Condition Cards
Second Edition Expanded Rulebook (with additional preset scenarios/missions)
2x sets of 10 custom dice
1x pack of Character sheets (double sided with different info on back)
1x pack of GM Sheets (double sided with different info on back)

That's a bit of a letdown as I could have easily gotten the hardcover over the box set

Reviewed in the United States on January 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

Received everything mentioned on the back of the 2e box set. The problem with the new rules and new missions booklet seems to be a error with how it was put together there's repeated pages which have been placed in the booklet upside down. To which I have included pictures of the most obvious ones. That's a bit of a letdown as I could have easily gotten the hardcover over the box set, But I had wanted the extras. overall the quality of what i received is great. The art and extras are great to look at, But a bit disappointed with the booklet included.

A solid block of RPG goodness

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2020

Verified Purchase

There is almost no space in this box at all. It's chock full of RPG components and they're all terribly exciting.

While you don't really need nice components for a game, having pre-made decks of cards for all the relevant maneuvers, conditions and equipment certainly makes play nice. It also addresses a problem I have a cons where I'm trying to attract players to my table/game and have to compete with folks who have lavish props and handouts. While those things don't make a game good, they do help attract players and not having players can definitely make a game ... not so good.

My only negative comment on the contents is that the map is rather small (only 2X the footprint of the box) and the GM screen is quite flimsy, not nearly as chunky and robust as the one for Torchbearer.

Material aside, what about the actual game? Well, it's the leanest refinement of the system that Luke Crane et al have published in three editions of Burning Wheel (original, Revised, Gold), Burning Empires and Torchbearer. Mouse Guard brought some innovations to gameplay which hadn't ever quite been realized in other games -- group scripted abstract conflict resolution replaces a more traditional combat system. What does that mean? Basically that the GM can make all kinds of things the focus of play, whether it's driving a bobcat away from one of the mouse colonies, rafting across a river swollen with spring rains or convincing the prudent, spendthrift mice of Leafbark to share their winter stores with their less fortunate cousins whose stores were invaded by weevils.

All in all, it's a very innovative roleplaying game that makes new ideas fun and accessible and has high quality components which will draw you in.

The quality is great and it's a good rpg system.

Mouse Guard is a roleplaying game based on David Petersen’s comic books. In it, the players take on the role of small mice with cloaks and swords who there to protect their territories.

The Mouse Guard boxed set is loaded with everything you could possibly need. It comes with a 320-page softcover rulebook, a 48-page supplemental rulebook, 20 dice, 4 decks of cards (each includes action cards, condition cards and equipment cards), a GM screen, a pad of character sheets (50 count), and a pad of GM info sheets (20 count).

Between the core and supplemental rulebook, there are six introductory missions/adventures. Players may either create their characters from scratch or they can use one of the pre-made characters that come with each of the missions.

The product is of good quality. The box is strong and durable. The artwork throughout the books is great. The cards make life far easier on the GM and the players.

MG uses a rules-lite version of the Burning Wheel system. All conflicts (fighting, arguments, chases, etc) are handled by the players and the GM using action cards against each other and rolling the pool of dice based on the results (paper/rock/scissors system). The missions are very linear and there is a clearly defined GM’s turn and players’ turn (who is holding the reins of the story). I’ve seen others describe MG as a tabletop rpg on rails, and they are correct, but it works perfectly well for this particular type of game.

Overall, this a great product and a good system for the type of rpg that it is portraying. I highly recommend it.

Fun rules, easy to understand concepts, and kid appropriate

Reviewed in the United States on February 16, 2016

Verified Purchase

This is a great RPG for the younger crowd or as a change of pace for an established RPG group.

The rules are straight-forward, and developing scenarios as the GM is much easier than in most games.

The players take on the role of Mouse Guardsmen. They have a variety of missions available, and most involved overcoming environmental challenges as well as the machinations of bad non-player characters.

Before each session, each player is encouraged to come up with a mission statement and to cooperate with the other players as they develop their mission statements.

This is a great fifth generation RPG!

This game looks beautiful, it's well made

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on January 10, 2018

Verified Purchase

This game looks beautiful, it's well made, and it's great fun to play, I can’t recommend it enough and if you’re used to pen and paper roleplaying games it shouldn’t take you too long to pick up the rules. However if you’re not be warned compared to conventional boardgames there are a lot of rules, which will take you a while to take in but stick with it, it’s worth it.

Would recommend

Excellence kit with good thought put into the contents.

Happy with the purchase

The book arrived in time and it was exactly as the pic. It has a nice cover to prevent scratches on the hard cover.
Didn't expect the drawings mediaeval alike throughout the book which made me smile for it is just too nice for anyone who enjoyed the author art books like I did.
Definitely a good purchase and easy to use.

A little treasure

Beautiful, innovative with a lot of heart. If you have Burning Wheel (an excellent character focused system) its very similar. Lusciously illustrated and a great introduction for younger players.
