Good video, brought back some awesome memories.

i actually like the hungry hippos version from around ten years back. was way easy to play and the trap worked 100% of the time lol

Puedo jugar?

The one I have is more of a mix of the two. It does still have the cheese wheel but this one you can use your cheese to move your opponents piece when they have landed in the wheel. You can steal pieces of cheese from one another. It almost act like a currency. And the mechanism is the same as the older one. That lift is pretty cool though.

We have the newer version and I have to say that the shaking mechanism really makes up for any other downgrade. Great game for family game night. 😊

Hey man. Great video and concept. I love your passion throughout the video. Definitely earned a sub from me and I look forward to seeing you grow. Also. The channel name: A+ I do have one bit of feedback. I think the background music overpowered your voice and was a bit distracting. Great stuff though.

If I'm understanding the 2021 version (never having owned it), you can finish the game with noone ever setting off the trap at all?

I never played the game only to make the trap

The helping hand was always the most temperamental part to set up in the original (at least with my set). If you didn't put it in juuuust right, it would either set off the thigamagig at the slightest jostle, or completely ignore the metal bearing. the broom lever looks like a more reliable mechanism, and it lets the bearing continue instead of a second ball.

I’ve seen the 2006 UK edition and it’s unique that it has a giant toilet in the middle of the board where you can activate one of three traps on the board.

I hope someone remakes Tornado Rex next! Also, what about a comparison of old vs. new Loopin’ Louie?

The new rules sound fun plus it might be fun to pimp up mousetrap with some nice paints and resin cheese pieces.

the old cover art does have the mustache. look the curls on his cheeks

something i like about this video is that you dont let nostalgia blind you. i heavily prefer the old pieces bc theyre way cuter but we gotta remember that its gonna be mostly kids with slippery little hands playing this game

Ghost hunt now has the game in a fold out box that is the bord game

Have my mid 70s white box Ideal version. The helping hand originally had a spring ro push it up and a large green plastic bowling ball on the thingamigig which made that part much more reliable. We played this and the original Buckaroo for years (still got that too). Most games then had large boxes to make storage easy. I hate these new open boxes where stuff falls out easily, especially the ones with huge holes in them to entice people to try out a feature like the timer on Perfection. The modern, assemble it yourself each time, Hungry Hippos is a prime example. Its like the manufacturer actually encourages you to loose parts lol!

I played Mouse trap when I was a kid but, there must have been one that was made between the 1986 and the 2021 version, because the character pieces i remembered look different than the 1986 one and i was too old for the 2021 version

As a kid I never knew there even was a game aspect. I just kept setting off the trap

The fact that it's a flagship product is probably the reason the box is disappointing. A more niche product probably only exists because someone who cares pushed for it.

I think they need to make an edition that has a machine that is at least twice as long.

I have the original game, but the lamppost broke years ago, and I was unable to fix it

the shaky shaky idol is cool but fireball island is better!

This thing OOZES 90s and now I want it

Don't get me wrong, 80 sales in five seconds is incredible, but I'm hard pressed to believe that Lego sells fewer sets than that. What's your source for "best selling toy in the world"?

I didn't know they remake the board game

What does rolling the hat the action dice do?

i got this in maybe 1980. it looked fun on the tv commercial, but i never liked playing it properly, i just wanted to set the trap off and it often didnt work fully

Don't let James play

Saw that during in the last episode of Board James. It's a shame they never actually got to do a full review because all the horror took over. But it was still a good episode.

Most memorable game we had growing up and the tension of the bridge shake was perfect. He didn't mention it but you can see in the video that your pieces were designed to latch on and "save" themselves in hilariously dangerous ways.

They rereleased it fairly recently. They had it at Target and it quickly became one of my favorite games.

Interesting observations about the new box. Surely the big manufacturers must have noticed by now that the most common 3d printed add on in the board game arena is the box organiser? Do any of the big manufacturers produce useful inserts?

there is a version of this game but you are a potato insted

They created a second game with a similar concept, called Dynamite. That was my favourite game as a young child.

How did I forget about this games' existence!? It's like Mouse Trap on crack

awesome! definitely makes me want to play

I was an adult that played this with kids who didn't like the 2nd die

The bridge reminds me of Sorcerer...

Board James vibes

Awesome MB Game out of an awesome time for board games. Here in Germany it's called "Geheimnis im Dschungel" (Secret in the jungle).

Looks like a combination of my two favorite 90s board games, "Fireball Island" and "Alligator Alley"

Was not loving but as soon as that head moved… need it!

Too bad they seem to have used a gt500 mold for it.

This takes me back

i loved this game

I prefer the old mechanism, its more tense and suspensful because its slower, wider arcs, runs for slightly longer and less obvious what will happen. More of a swinging side to side then a violent shake attempt to knock everyone off. Also the sound of the original is more akin to an eerie sound then the new deep motor sound, but I agree its probably more pleasant, I just think the intention originally wasn't to be pleasant intentionally.

Wait what do the ruby and look side do?

Yooo, the way those pieces clung on to that bridge, if I didn't see it happen, I would've guessed that you put them in those positions, that's awesome

This is my first time learning about the game! Very informative and a great video :D I'd definitely check the game out one of these days

I never had this as a kid, but I think I saw some commercials. I might have to pick this up sometime. 🎉
