Monster! Monster! (2019)

About this game

Monster! Monster! is a two-player game of human-hunting monsters. If you want to win, you must outbluff, outwit and sometimes simply overpower your opponent. You play three nights. Each night four humans are up for grabs, and you play your monsters next to them. You don’t know what cards your opponent has played, but the card backs give a hint. Then you fight for humans, and the strongest monsters win. The first to capture 4 different humans or 3 of the same wins. But strength is not all. All monsters have special abilities that allow you to move cards, swap strength, reveal your opponent’s monsters and more. —description from the publisher

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Strictly 2 players — no more, no fewer.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 8 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
