In Mouse Guard you play the part of a hero. A tiny hero... with a sword!

Mouse Guard is based on David Petersen's comics and uses a focused version of Luke Crane's Burning Wheel system. You play a guardmouse sworn to protect the Mouse Territories and the mice within from dangers, inside and out. And there is plenty of danger out there, let me tell you. Ever had a bear raid your beehive? Ever worry the tiniest rain shower could mean mice lost in a flood? Have you ever had to convince a mayor to cancel the parade and prepare the townsmice for an incursion from weasels?

In a world of larger-than-mouse threats, there is only the Guard. May the Guard prevail!
