− | * You cannot use Way of the Mouse when playing the card set aside by Way of the Mouse, to prevent loops that could matter with {{Card|Champion}}.

− | === Why doesn’t Mouse ban Command cards? ===
| |
− | {{Quote|Text= I felt like, it would be great to not make any more [[Command]] cards, and if I somehow need to make another one, I can sure avoid having it cost {{Cost|2}} or {{Cost|3}}. And then, the text doesn't fit on the card in the large font, and it's text I sure want to avoid where possible, it's a confusing thing.

− | === Power level ===
| |
− | {{Quote|Text= The Ways all try to be weaker than some {{Cost|2}} with a similar ability (yes unless the {{Cost|2}} just sucks or is secretly free with a {{Card|Duchy}}). Except Mouse, it gets to be as powerful as whatever card. That card isn't in the game otherwise so at least we know, it didn't shut out that pile.

− | Way of the Mouse had the significant issue of, all the other Ways are intentionally worse than whatever non-awful {{Cost|2}} you might buy, but this isn't. It was fun. There wasn't a fix. There it is, spicing up games.

− | === Rules issues ===
| |
− | {{Quote|Text=
| |
− | Feel free to not put Way of the Mouse on the table if it's too over-the-top for you. For me, it was good times, so I printed it; otherwise you wouldn't have it. For sure it generates questions. I think for the most part though, the things it breaks are broken things.
| |
− |
| |
− | Mostly I don't worry about rare edge cases; these days I try to omit them from rulebooks as they aren't what people look in there for.
| |
− |
| |
− | There are card interactions that mess up new cards in playtesting, for sure. {{Card|Fortress}} for example limits what certain cards can do with making loops. {{Card|Fortress}} plus thing is a way more common interaction though than a typical Way of the Mouse puzzle.
