About the game
What you do in a play session
The gameplay is a fun mix of luck and light strategy. You and your rivals, from 2 to 4 players, will roll dice to move your markers across the colorful board, which represents the city and its hidden dangers. But it's not just about strolling around! The core of the game lies in set collection: you'll need to gather the right monster body parts in your laboratory. Each arm, leg, torso, and head must be carefully selected for your creature to take shape. Once your Frankenstein is complete, the race against time begins to see who reaches the radioactive pit first and secures victory.
With components including a vibrant gameboard, game pieces, dice, and the indispensable monster parts, *Monsters* promises a lighthearted and twist-filled experience for players aged 8 and up. It's the perfect choice for those who enjoy a classic horror theme with a touch of humor and the thrill of seeing their monster come to life (and perhaps destroy the world)!
