Mice & Marbles can be played with a standard 52-card deck. All you need is 3 sets of 4 things and 2 sets of 5 things. For example, all Kings, all Queens, all Jacks, a black set of 2-6, and a red set of 2-6 will map to the 3 sets of 4 mice and 2 sets of 5 marbles. Using the example above, face-cards of equal rank are considered identical, and any numbers of the same color are also considered identical.

Please note that with the digital version (Mouse Edition) of Mice & Marbles, you can only challenge a computer player (not another person), and the computer's strategy is to randomly decide what it wants. Therefore, I argue that the best way to play Mice & Marbles is with a friend, with a set of cards that you make together.
