Get ready for a frantic adventure in 'Meeple Ataca,' a card game where the mission is clear: defeat as many meeple monsters as possible to secure the highest score! Each meeple card is a work of art, displaying not only a cool monster, but also its hit points (HP), the reward value for defeating it, and colored damage icons along its edges. Gameplay is super intuitive: on your turn, you pick one of the face-up meeple cards from the center of the table and place it orthogonally adjacent to a card already in your personal territory. But pay attention, no rotating or overlapping cards unless a special ability allows it! Damage is generated cleverly: by connecting at least two matching damage icons on adjacent card edges, the damage activates and is compared against the meeple's HP. If the total connected damage meets or exceeds its HP, the meeple is knocked out! And there's more: edge colors trigger special end-game effects. Red connections can unleash massive area damage, orange pairs boost existing attacks, and other colors interact with specific monster types. The game ends when there are no more cards to replenish the central row. Then it's time to tally the reward points from all defeated meeples, apply color bonus effects, and see who became the greatest meeple hunter!
