children. But no rules. Could any kind person post them or tell me
where I can get them online?
Thanks in anticipation,

You're unlikely to find them online, but here's the rules as I
remember them.
Divide the counters (if counters you have) between the players.
One person takes the role of catcher, and all other players take a
mouse. The mice should be placed on the mat, and the catcher holds the
cup close to the mat, but so that every mouse is able to escape.
The catcher now takes the die and rolls it. If the colour comes up red
or blue (or, if you like, two named colours), then the catcher may
catch the mice on the mat with the cup. If any other colour comes up,
he may not.
If the catching colours are shown, the mice try to escape the mat
before being caught by the cup. Mice cannot be caught if they are not
on the mat. If a player's mouse is caught, that player pays the
catcher one token. If a player's mouse escapes, that player receives a
token from the catcher.
If the catching colours are not shown, the catcher may not try to
catch the mice, although he can threaten to. If the catcher catches
mice in this case, he pays all the players whose mice were so caught
one token. Similarly, if a mouse leaves the mat when a non-catching
colour is shown, the player with that mouse must pay the catcher one
token.
That's about it. You play until someone has lost all their tokens, and
the player with the most tokens wins. Take it in turns to be catcher.
The trick is to have the catcher roll the die as quickly as possible
and threaten to catch mice in an attempt to scare the other players
into escaping before they're allowed to. It can be good fun, esp. with
kids.
Have fun!
Mike.
