Description
In the setup phase, arrange a number of large location cards on the table, equal to the number of gods. These cards are selected from 12 ancient Greek cities where humans cower. Locations have special powers and offer Faith when struck by Monsters. Depending on the number of gods playing, each god gets a randomly made deck of 7 - 10 out of 12 mythical monster cards, each with unique powers. Gods shuffle and prepare these decks, then draw 3 monster cards to throw at locations and other monsters on the table. On a god's turn, they pick a single monster from their hand and throw it (without crossing the table edge) to hit: 1. a location to use its special power, gain Faith, and activate monster powers affecting locations. 2. other monster cards on the table to use their thrown monster's special power on opponents' monsters. 3. aim for both at once! Find the best cards and targets. But watch out - monsters can act unpredictably and dangerously. Some act as traps, taking effect when hit. If Olympus is in play, gods can get powerful legendary monsters to throw. After a god's turn, they draw a new monster, and play moves to the next god. The game continues until one god runs out of monster cards. Then, each other god takes one final turn, and the god with the most Faith wins. Monstrous combines amazing art of mythic Greece with fast - paced card - throwing, exciting action, and tactical combos loved by gods and gamers. Every game is unique, and there are optional rules for kids, team play, and longer games with legendary monsters. Yes, you can unleash the Kraken!
To play Monstrous, start by arranging location cards on the table according to the number of gods. Each god gets a deck of monster cards. Shuffle your deck and draw 3 cards. On your turn, pick a monster and throw it at locations or other monsters without crossing the table edge. Try to hit locations to gain Faith and use special powers, or hit other monsters to use your monster's power on them. Watch out for monsters that act like traps. If Olympus is in play, you can get legendary monsters. After your turn, draw a new card. The game ends when one god runs out of cards, then each other god takes a final turn. The god with the most Faith wins. For kids, team play, or longer games, use the optional rules. There's no special maintenance needed, just keep the cards in a safe place to avoid damage.
