Monster 4 (2009)

About this game

Night has fallen in the graveyard and the monsters have come out to play with the skeletons. First the graveyard is built from Lego. The graves are divided into four sections. Two sections are light grey and the other two are darker. At their turn the players throw the die. When the grey color shows up, the player may place its monster on a grave corresponding to the grey color. If the four colors shows up, a player can change its monster with another player. If the black field shows up, the spider comes into play to scare the zombies away. A skeleton is placed when the white field has thrown. A skeleton can be used by all the players. The first to get four of their monsters in a row wins.

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.1/5 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.
