It looks pretty good. Your girls are too young to get into RP yet (or at least too young to appreciate the need for rules for make-believe,) but Mouse Guard could be the best one to start them out when they're ready. The cards will help follow the conditions, and I don't know what the dice are for, but I suppose that's in the addtional rules book. I don't know about the mouse tokens though, because I'd rather have more characterful models. Reaper just made a set of "mousling heroes": www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/se/sku-down/10033

I guess the mouse pawns are based on some picture from the comic where Gwendolen has a map out and is moving pawns around on the map to represent the various teams. At least that's what I was told when I complained about them not being actual mouse minis.
My biggest problem is how long it has taken for this to come out. It was announced two years ago. Back then I was all hyped about it and immediately pre-ordered it. That order was cancelled after about 3 months and now it's been about 21 more months since I've really cared.

Yeah, the extra stuff that they put in the boxed set doesn't really justify the time that it took to put it out; they could have skipped casting the mouse tokens. In the comic, they're used to keep track of the mice when they're sent on different missions, but you're probaby not going to split up the group when they play the game, and you don't want to leave the map on a table between games.
There is one scene in the comic where the mice are themselves playing a board game. It would be nice if they had included that in the boxed set, for a game within the game.
