Avoid being trapped by the Mouse trap contraption. The last remaining mouse, wins.

Move your mouse round the course, build your contraption, piece by piece and use it to trap your opponents' mice. Turn the crank to drop a basket on your victim. Sometimes the contraption doesn't drop the basket and your opponent survives.

A rare early edition of one of the best known construction games of all time.
