Mike,
 
That "Trade Card" is a hoot !!! ROTFLMAO !!!  I'm going to make up a card like
that for myself, although I will leave off "Undertaker", and a handful of other
trades I've not dabbled in!

On the trade card, describing the trap, what's the word in there, 
"resets the trap to xxxx it's next neighbour"??  Looks like 
'eatel'....what is it?

Fun trade card, like you say.

Another Mike

I think the word is "enter" - referring to where the next mouse goes once
caught.

Mike

Catch?
