The instructions are worn and does have a small tear as you can see in the picture. It is complete and has the hard-to-find and rare blue stairway which the metal ball goes down after coming out of the pail. In this edition of the game it only came with 3-mice which are pictured. The front of the board looks really good (see pics) just a little discoloring around the edges which is typical for a game of this age and does show small signs of wear on the corners. The back of the board looks good. No tares or rips. The middle folding crease of the board is strong and in good condition. The box is still in strong solid condition. It shows the typical discoloring in areas, but overall is in really good condition ( see pics). All the plastic pieces are in good condition with no signs of cracks or fragility. Most importantly is this game is so fun to put together with your family and friends. The real excitement starts when you start playing the game.
