Dinner Fork

The dinner fork has a variety of uses. It can help mice access areas of the board that are hard or impossible to reach otherwise, it can pry open some traps, and it can even be turned into a grape-launching catapult! At anytime on a mouse’s turn, the player controlling that mouse can remove the Dinner Fork token from the party stash and place it on the board. It does not cost an action to place the token.

The Dinner Fork token is always placed on the space occupied by the mouse that is using it. The token cannot be placed on a water space.

On its turn, a mouse that is sharing a space with the Dinner Fork can use an action to catapult any other mouse that is on the same space to any target space on the same tile. The catapulted mouse must be able to see the target space. See page 11 for rules on Seeing the Target.

A mouse on the same space as the token can use an action to remove the token and place it back in the party stash. If the mice leave a room tile that has the token still on it, the token is removed from the board (not placed in the party stash) and the Dinner Fork card is shuffled back into the search deck.
