Synopsis[]
Mickey's friends are placed in jeopardy after he attempts to spice up their weekly game night.
Plot[]
The episode begins with Mickey's friends looking bored walking to Mickey's house to participate in his game night, on the way everyone is complaining that Mickey always has to organize a game night to have fun but it’s getting tedious because they always do the same game every week and Mickey always wins. Despite not willing do the same game again, the group will try to stay as cheerful as possible. When they arrive at Mickey's house, he reveals that he has planned a special game that he has prepared for tonight because he finally got tired of the same game as well so he made a bigger and more lively one where the board is live size and real people are the pieces and everyone happily accepts
During the course of game night, everyone plays different games, throwing dice receiving pies in the face (especially only for Donald), advancing on the board among other activities during the game, despite getting injured (except Mickey of course) but when they reach the last section of the game, Minnie tries to tell Mickey that they are already tired and that they’ve had enough, in which Mickey agrees. Despite having enough, Mickey claims that they can’t leave until the game is finished. Donald, wanting win badly, decides to take the chance and wish to do it, but Daisy bluntly points out that he and the others never win and Mickey always wins. Nevertheless, they decided to try it out anyway since there’s no other way get out the game. As they were about start, however, the final part to reach the goal had become dangerous due to deadly traps that put the game at risk and Mickey and his friends, both run dodging the traps and other obstacles, do their best get through and protect Mickey until in one from the game's exploits, Mickey is left hanging on a cliff to a gruesome death
Donald, seeing this as an opportunity to become Mickey's replacement, runs towards the finish line imagining what a future would be like with only Donald with no presents of Mickey, but once realizing that without Mickey he will nothing, he changes his mind and sacrifices himself to save Mickey, but not before getting hit by the pies that were made to him during the course of the game and thanks to this, Mickey manages to reach the end of the finish line and the game ends.
Realizing how wrong he was for bringing danger to his friends for their game night, Mickey apologizes to them for that, and they tell him it's okay. When Mickey excitedly ask if they want to play again, Donald appears from behind and, in a fit of anger, after hearing him start the game again, holds a pie and throws it at Mickey in the face so he won't start playing again thus ending the episode.
