Featuring a lighter version of the Burning Wheel system, Mouse Guard offers a heroic medieval player experience wherein players take on the role of guard mice who have volunteered to protect mouse society from any evil that may befall it. The harshness of the setting and difficulty of their tasks emphasizes how noble these volunteer mice are, and in play the game absolutely sings. Even if you've not been thrilled with Burning Wheel in the past, be sure to take a look at the review. The system changes have made it a much more accessible system, and I suspect this incarnation will work well for some groups that couldn't wrap their heads around the existing system.
