In this book, Marrientie's aunt, (or great-aunt) shows her a golden matchbox that her father received from some stranger. Inside the box, there is a roll of parchment that is a gameborad, complete with game pieces and dice. Whn Marrinette rolls the dice and places a malchtine mouse on the starting square, she is immediently transported to another universe, (so to speak) and has been transformed into a malchintine mouse. When others follow her, trying to resuce her, they all discover a plan worse than any they could have dreamed of, a plan to take over the world....
