スートアタックモンスター (Suit Attack Monster)

You know that moment when you and your friends pretend to be a group of heroes united for the greater good, but deep down, everyone just wants to secure their own treasure? Well, Suit Attack Monster is exactly that kind of fun! Set in a classic fantasy world, the goal seems simple: you need to defeat powerful monsters and dragons. But don't be fooled by the appearance of cooperation, because the real mischief lies in how the rewards are distributed.

The game utilizes the classic trick-taking mechanic, but with a very interesting twist. Instead of just winning the round for yourself, the focus here is the total damage dealt to the monster. To win the challenge, the sum of the card values played by all players must exceed the creature's HP (hit points). If the group manages to take down the monster, the loot is released! But here is where things get tricky: although everyone earns coins, the lion's share of the treasure goes to whoever played the highest-value card in the round. Other players still receive 'extra coins,' but the internal competition to be the most efficient (or most opportunistic) hero is what drives the table.

It is a fast-paced, lightweight game, perfect for those looking for a dynamic 30-minute session without needing a 50-page manual. You will need to balance the desire to help the group avoid losing the monster with the urge to play that high card to ensure your maximum profit. It's a game of 'dubious cooperation' where your best friend might be the first to let you down just to grab a few extra coins. If you enjoy card games with direct interaction and a touch of 'friendly betrayal,' get your cards ready and happy hunting!
