About the game

What you do in a play session

Zeus is furious. Mortals’ faith is fading, and Olympus is shaking. Solution? Unleash the monsters! In *Monstrous*, you’re a Greek god flicking mythical creature cards onto ancient Greek cities — all to amass Faith (and the boss’s favor). The game blends dexterity (gotta hit targets by flicking cards) and strategy (each monster and location has unique powers). Want bonus points? Hit two targets at once! But watch out: some monsters are traps that trigger effects when hit. The game ends when a god runs out of cards, and whoever has the most Faith wins. Plays 2-10, with team rules or kid-friendly variants. And yes, you can release the Kraken. Gorgeous art, controlled chaos, and quick matches (15-30 min) make this mythological mayhem perfect for any table.
