Monster Slayers of Slawia (2019)

About this game

Monster Slayers of Slawia is a fast-paced, fiercely competitive card game for 2 to 5 players set in a Slavic fantasy world. Become the leader of a legendary Hunting House and send your monster slayers to the troubled realms of the Boarderlands! Visit over 25 unique locales and hunt over ten monster types! Players alternate playing monster slayer cards from their hands and monsters from the monster lair. A sole player stands a poor chance of defeat the monsters alone, so they must use their wits and join others, while ensuring they receive the majority of the spoils (points). Monster Slayers of Slawia features over one hundred illustrations and a deep unique Slavic theme in the vein of the Witcher video game series. —description from the designer

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 5.
• Rules load. At 2.3/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 10 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
