About the game
What you do in a play session
The real fun lies in the spatial interaction. You can cross paths with other players, but only if your monster is capable of going over them. This creates a clever 3D puzzle where both height and length really matter. If you run out of room to grow or everyone has placed all their segments, the game ends. The winner is the player with the fewest segments left in their reserve—basically, the one who was most efficient at claiming the lake. In case of a tie, the monster with the head at the highest elevation (literally, the one who managed to climb over others the most) takes the win. It’s a fast-paced game that is visually charming and requires you to anticipate your friends' moves before they block your path. It’s perfect for those who enjoy abstract challenges that don't take hours to explain but still keep your brain firing on all cylinders.
