Monster Laundry (2014)

About this game

It's livening up in the monster laundry room as all of the monsters want to get rid of the yucky smell. Amidst all the scrubbing, rinsing, and splashing, water is going everywhere! Only the fastest players can keep track and end up with the most golden clothespins. Monster Laundry starts on the signal "Monster wash!" The players stand evenly spaced out in a circle and hold the washing line around them. As a living clothes horse, the players' goal is to grab the monsters and hang them on the washing line, either on your left-hand or right-hand side, depending on certain criteria. The fastest player gets a golden clothespin as a reward. The first player to get three of these precious pins wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 1.0/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 7 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
