Date: November 4, 2025
What is Mausritter
Mausritter is an award-winning tabletop roleplaying game where players take on the role of small mice venturing into a huge, dangerous world full of threats, treasures, and adventure. It won the gold medal for Best Family Game in the 2021 ENNIE Awards, and is designed to appeal to both newcomers and seasoned players alike. With simplified mechanics, tactile item-cards, and a setting that balances whimsy and peril, Mausritter delivers action-packed, immersive play that’s easy to learn yet rich in storytelling depth.
“This should be everyone’s first RPG.” – fan
The new supplement: Junk City
Launching soon on BackerKit is Junk City, an official campaign box-set for Mausritter that plunges mouse-sized heroes into the underbelly of a sprawling, neo-noir urban wasteland. In the aftermath of a magical catastrophe, four factions vie for power amid shattered faerie gates and scattered mystical shards – all while a crucial mouse has disappeared into the city’s refuse and ruin. Junk City features a guidebook of districts and factions, nine mouse-sized adventures, item-card sheets, a sealed “final” adventure envelope, maps of the city, and much more.
Mausritter Month on BackerKit
From November 4th to December 5th 2025, Mausritter Month is an event curated by Losing Games, Games Omnivorous and Exalted Funeral that spotlights not only Junk City, but also sixteen new third-party projects from Mausritter’s extensive community of fans and players. Among the highlights:
- Rolling Coast: a campaign that transforms an amusement park into a vast mouse-scale realm of peril and excitement.
- Soul Food: an adventure set in a provençal-style kitchen, where the culinary and art worlds collide.
- Mechritter: A modular mech-building simulator and urban adventure expansion for Mausritter.
This event gives fans one month of focused opportunity to explore, back and dive into new Mausritter projects, releases and adventures.
