The Mouse Guard Roleplaying Game is a fantasy tabletop role-playing game designed by Luke Crane and illustrated by David Petersen. Based on Petersen's Mouse Guard comic book series, it adapts the setting and tone of the original stories using a streamlined version of Crane's The Burning Wheel system. The game was first published by Archaia Studios Press in December 2008, followed by a deluxe boxed set in 2011 and a second edition in 2015.
Set in a medieval-inspired fantasy world populated by anthropomorphic mice, the game focuses on the Mouse Guard, an order sworn to protect their kin from predators and other threats. Emphasising cooperation, duty, and survival, it combines tactical gameplay with narrative role-playing. The Mouse Guard Roleplaying Game received critical acclaim and won several major awards, including the Origins Award for Best Roleplaying Game and multiple Indie RPG Awards.
