About the game
Time to go back to Monster School! All pupils are ready to start working again. They have been asked to draw the scariest monster of the school to become the Big Bad Monster! Every turn, each player picks one of the available dice, then draw the matching feature on their sheet, adding an eye, tooth, leg, arm, horn or accessory to their Monster. When a Monster gets 2, 3 or 5 features of the same type, its owner can choose to add the matching Scare token to their track on the Scare-o-Meter. But beware: each token is unique and a player can pick only one for each feature! The goal of the game is have your Scare-O-meter full with Scare tokens before the other players do. To be the first to fill your Scare-o-Meter, you will need to watch your opponents closely and figure out if you can push your luck, or if you should rather play it safe. -description from publisher
