About the game
The year was 2005, and the largest animal recorded alive was the blue whale. But suddenly, the world was shocked by the appearance of terrifying creatures that could have the blue whale for a light midnight snack. Gargantis, Toxicor, Tomanagi, and others rampaged across the United States as the rest of the world watched in horror, in an event that has become known as the 2005 Rampage. Though many cities and famous landmarks were demolished, after a stunning battle for supremacy the monsters disappeared into the wilderness, the world was left to pick up the pieces. Now, many years later, the colossal creatures have discovered the rest of the continents of the world, and all of humanity are threatened by their gargantuan struggle. Monsters Menace the World is a 2-4 player game where each player controls a Monster that they use to menace the planet in order to gain Infamy, as well as one Military faction to slow down or stop the other players’ Monsters from doing the same. Play as Chupacoloso, Konk, Nessie, Strigoika, Tomanagi, Zorb, and The Minions. The player with the most Infamy wins! Features Control a monster and menace the planet to gain Infamy! Play as Chupacoloso, Konk, Nessie, Strigoika, Tomanagi, Zorb, and The Minions. Stop other players' monsters using your Military faction and cunning strategy! Features fresh and updated gameplay!
