Mausritter

You are a brave mouse, sword in paw, making your way in a world that is enormous, beautiful, and very dangerous. Mausritter is a rules-light adventure game — tactile and board-gamey, in the creator's own words — where your gear lives on a grid of item cards and a cat is a genuinely terrifying monster.

It's one of the friendliest doors into tabletop roleplaying there is: quick to learn, forgiving to run, and a hit with families (parents run it for kids as young as five). No prior RPG experience required.

Where to buy it

Mausritter's print box set is gorgeous — and it sells out constantly. Stock comes and goes, so check the official channels for current availability:

• Official site — mausritter.com — the hub for the game, the free rules, and current news.
• itch.io — losing-games.itch.io/mausritter — the digital edition (name-your-price; **the free PDF is the real, complete game**, not a demo).
• Exalted Funeral — the main print retailer (the box set restocks here; it goes fast).
• DriveThruRPG and EU/UK stockists carry print and PDF as availability allows.

Print stock status changes fast — the Mausritter Discord is where restocks are announced first, days before anywhere else.

Starting resources

• Stumpsville — the free starter adventure; a perfect first session.
• The Mausritter Library — a fan-run aggregator of adventures, items, and third-party content, all in the Mausritter format.

Roll some tables

Mausritter runs on its tables — names, hirelings, weather, what's-in-the-room. Roll on Mausritter's tables (and hundreds more) for free, no account needed, at the RPGsecrets tables app.

*(A roll-right-here widget embeds here once this page is live — it draws on the same free public tables.)*

Build your mouse

There's no character creator anywhere in the Mausritter community — so we made one. Roll your mouse's background, pluck, grit, and starting gear, and keep an inventory that respects the famous item-card grid.
