Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought this for my 5-year-old girl, so we could play it together in the evenings. The pieces are so desirable that game play is interrupted as they "talk" to each other (meow, meow, squeak, squeak etc)and she goes off on a creative story tangent, so we don't always finish the game, but that's fun too. Keeping the pieces in the set is a challenge as they wander off very easily! I think the mice are too wobbly.

Players attempt to advance their mice (pieces) from the start to any of various goals. The further the goal, the more cheese (points) it is worth. Pursuing the mice is the cat that removes the mice from the game should it catch the mice.Movement is regulated by a die which has 1/1/2/3/4/5 on the sides. The "1" sides also move the cat. Initial cat moves are only 1 space, but become 2 spaces after once around the track, so when the cat speeds up, it's almost all over!Viva Topo! is a family game that has players balancing risk and rewards as they attempt to outrun the cat and score for cheese. Charming artwork on the board. Delightful wooden cat, mice, cheese, and oversized die. Rulebook in several languages, including English.Recommended for ages 4 and over.
