House Mouse is a quick and chaotic card game in which each player is a mouse trying to build a magnificent nest. They do this by scavenging bits and bobs that the owner of the house, their host, has left laying about. Throughout the game players will collect cards into their nest, either directly from the house or from other player's nests. These cards can be Points (positive or negative!), Powers (like trading, peeking, revealing, giving, and stealing cards!), or Boosts (bad for others, good for you, or both!). The game ends immediately when any player's nest holds 12 cards. The player that builds the nest holding the most points is declared the winner. -description from the publisher
