Creature Clash! Card Game (2011)

About this game

Creatures: The Card Game, later released as Creature Clash!, is a creative, strategic card game that blends friendly competition with a good laugh! It is intended for 2 to 6 players, ages 8 and up. The game is comprised of 96 playing cards consisting of either a ‘FRONT’, ‘MIDDLE’, or ‘BACK’ portion of 32 particular animals. Each animal is illustrated across the three cards, and includes a fun fact about that animal and a corresponding ‘strength’ value ranging from 1-10 (e.g. a mosquito is strength-1, and a grizzly bear is strength-10). Gameplay occurs as players mix and match ‘FRONT’, ‘MIDDLE’, and ‘BACK’ cards in their hand to create entirely new creatures, and stage attacks against the creatures in other players’ hands. For example, the ‘FRONT’ of Octopus (4), the ‘MIDDLE’ of Hippopotamus (7), and the ‘BACK’ of Armadillo (1) combine to create OC-POTA-DILLO (12)!

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 6.
• Rules load. At 1.2/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
