Contents
The box contains two booklets, a rules summary, 5 ready-to-play characters, 24 six-sided dice, 6 location maps, tokens and a play aid.
Booklet 1, First Adventures, is read first. It explains how to play and offers three short adventures, from 30 minutes to an hour each, which introduce the rules one at a time and are played in order.
Booklet 2, More Adventures, contains two longer adventures of about four to five hours, one in Bigwheel, the other in Corktown. All five adventures share a common thread, the mouse sorcerer Mickus.
The text is by Trickytophe, with additional text by François Cedelle in booklet 1. Clément de Ruyter is credited for the setting, the cover and the illustrations, the latter made with help from Lucy Vallin. François Cedelle and Trickytophe share the editorial direction, François Cedelle did the page layout.

Settings
Bigwheel is a former amusement park that the raccoon Dualeaper and his troupe of traveling performers restored, then turned into a free enclave devoted to entertainment.
Corktown is a cosmopolitan port city where the law carries little weight, run by the sprawling Rinswith-Gutrotter family.
Booklet 2 gives a summary description of both places, with a few additions exclusive to the box.
