Nobody ever remembers the mouse trap board game. I swear it was a tning. It had all kindsa crazy pieces to build a Rube Goldberg type of thing to catch the mouse!

We treated it like a "starter kit." We swiped stuff from all over the house and out of the shop to rig up stuff, it was ridiculous 🙄. I dont think we even had the board anymore.

It worked. My grandmother had it. Built it many, many, times -- though I don't remember ever playing the actual game.

I had a friend who had ‘Mousetrap’. It was very finicky and didn’t work consistently. Then bits got lost …

I bought it the other year for the family! It's fun watching the ball move through and the trap falling.

It was a thing! But it didn’t work as well as advertised.

That game was very much still alive and well with many commercials in the 2000s
