About the game

What is The farmer and the mouse

Children's game, Ages 3 and up. Farmer Klaus has accidentally mixed up all of his seeds (represented by wooden discs with pictures). On your turn, you throw the die, which will either show one of the types of seed (barley, oats, wheat, or rye) or a mouse. In case of a grain, you find a disc with the right type of grain and put it in its own bag. If it's a mouse, one of the mice will start eating from the grain. The game's over when either all six mice are eating from the grain (in which case all players lose), or when all grain has been sorted (in which case all players win).
