Monster Laundry is a board game released in 2014 for 2–5 players, 15 minutes per game, and ages 7 and up. It was designed by Rémy Delivorias and its main mechanics are Set Collection.
It's livening up in the monster laundry room as all of the monsters want to get rid of the yucky smell. Amidst all the scrubbing, rinsing, and splashing, water is going everywhere! Only the fastest players can keep track and end up with the most golden clothespins. Monster Laundry starts on the signal "Monster wash!" The players stand evenly spaced out in a circle and hold the washing line around them. As a living clothes horse, the players' goal is to grab the monsters and hang them on the washing line, either on your left-hand or right-hand side, depending on certain criteria. The fastest player gets a golden clothespin as a reward. The first player to get three of these precious pins wins.
Monster Laundry supports 2–5 players according to the catalogue. This range comes from the publisher’s listed player count, so the game can be set up for any group size within it. Some setups, rules and scoring details may still vary by player count, so check your edition’s rulebook for the exact configuration.
The listed playing time for Monster Laundry is 15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Monster Laundry for ages 7 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Monster Laundry has a complexity rating of 1.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
