Solo?: Yes | With Supplements
Mausritter is one of those games that feels clever the moment you touch it. The core idea of playing brave little mice in a massive, dangerous world is charming, but what really sells the game is how tactile and elegant the design is. The inventory system is the star here, with items and conditions physically taking up slots, turning resource management into an actual gameplay conversation instead of background math. The rules are light, fast, and easy to teach, using a roll-under system that keeps things moving without constant difficulty debates.
The game leaves plenty of space for discovery rather than over-explaining everything, which makes it great for improvisation.
For solo play, Mausritter shines thanks to its extensive roll tables, hex crawl support, random rooms, and adventure frameworks that act more like prompts than scripts. The included adventures and expansions add a ton of replayability without bloating the system. It’s imaginative, flexible, and genuinely fun, whether you’re playing with a group or alone at the table.
