Rube Goldberg Pins and Buttons

Mouse Trap (originally Mouse Trap Game) is a board game first published by Ideal in 1963 for two to four players. It is one of the first mass-produced three-dimensional board games. Over the course of the game, players at first cooperate to build a working Rube Goldberg-like mouse trap. Once the mouse trap has been built, players turn against each other, attempting to trap opponents' mouse-shaped game pieces. The basic premise of Mouse Trap has been consistent over time, but the turn-based gameplay has changed. Its concept was first invented by Marvin Glass and his company, Marvin Glass and Associates, who were later granted a US patent in 1967.The original published version of the game in 1963 was then designed by Hank Kramer of Ideal Toy

Inspired by the imaginative contraptions of Rube Goldberg and the ornate aesthetics of Victorian steampunk, this artwork evokes the whimsy of complex mechanical systems.
