About the game
What you do in a play session
In Monster Baby Rescue!, you take on the mission of caring for orphaned and lost baby monsters who have come to our world from a fantastic realm. Each player chooses a "Monstie" to call their own – it could be a Dragon, Mandragora, Ork, Basilisk, or Kerberos. From there, the task is to use the available tiles on the table to provide the best possible care for your creature. These tiles represent everything a little monster needs: from grooming specific body parts, playgrounds for fun, cozy places to rest, to diamonds for decoration or play, and of course, magicians who act as special "vets." Each tile has a "cost," paid in steps on the time track. The twist is that whoever is furthest behind on the track goes next, encouraging a dynamic where slower players grab the cheaper tiles. Throughout the game, you accumulate points not only from the bonuses on the tiles you choose but also from the "levels" your monsters reach with the care and improvements you provide. It's a light and charming game, perfect for those who enjoy a unique theme and accessible mechanics.
