The character sheets are incredibly well designed and include all of the critical rules players need to know right on the sheet. The mouse pawns, which I initially thought were going to be kind of dumb, are very nice and bring about a certain amount of immersion to the game for anyone who is a fan of the comic because they closely resemble the tokens Gwendolyn pushes around her map of the territories. The dice have a really nice feel to them and are solid - these aren't cheap, super light plastic - landing with a solid "thunk" when they hit the table. All of the cards are printed on quality card stock and bear original artwork from David Petersen - the action cards are a great addition to the game and make scripting conflicts quick to do and easy to learn. I'll discuss the extra materials first and it can be summed up in one word: awesome.
Let's begin by seeing how the publisher describes the game: Why? To put it simply, the game, which was already beautifully illustrated and written, now is fantastic - the added features, rules, and accessories included with the box are well worth the price (which at $69.95 MSRP is very pricey). While the box set was a long time in the making, and suffered a number of production delays, it finally reached stores this summer and within just a couple of months the first printing sold out. Based on that success, Archaia Studio Press decided to release a deluxe box set which contains updates the rules and repackages the game to be even more friendly for those new to RPGs.
Released originally in 2008 as a hard cover version (a PDF version is also available), it promptly won several design awards and received almost universally positive reviews.
The Mouse Guard RPG is by Luke Crane and David Petersen, and is based upon the award-winning comic book and graphic novel series of the same name.
