## Description
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.

## FAQ
### How much table space is needed?
A lot! Each player needs flicking room. A large table or clear floor works best.

### Kid-friendly?
Simplified rules for ages 8+. Flicking is easy, but strategy might be tricky.

### Language-dependent?
Barely. Cards use icons and minimal text (easily memorized).

### Best player count?
4-6 is the sweet spot: fun chaos without mess. At 10, it’s epic pandemonium.

### Any cooperative mode?
Purely competitive, but team play (gods vs. titans) is possible.
