About the game
What you do in a play session
Monsterpocalypse is your dose of controlled chaos in board game form, where giant monsters (yes, the city-crushing kind) and their support troops clash in epic battles. Each player commands a unique faction—be it robotic dinosaurs, aliens, or mutant creatures—and must use strategy and a bit of dice luck to take down the opposing monster. The game takes place on a destructible urban battlefield, with buildings that play a tactical role: hide behind them, throw them at your opponent, or simply reduce everything to rubble. The dice-rolling mechanics and variable turn order keep the tension high, while each monster's special abilities ensure no two games are alike. If you've ever dreamed of commanding a Godzilla or Mechagodzilla, this is your chance.
