Rush & Bash: Monster Chase is an expansion for Rush & Bash released in 2017 for 2–8 players, 30–45 minutes per game, and ages 10 and up. It was designed by Erik Burigo and its main mechanics are Variable Player Powers, Hand Management, and Modular Board.
Description from the publisher: Rush & Bash: Monster Chase is the second expansion for Rush & Bash, the game about a crazy race set in the same world of games like Vudù, GodZ, and the Super Fantasy series. This expansion transforms the base game into a fully cooperative experience and the game heaviness switches from casual to strategy-oriented. Instead of bashing each other out of the road, players must now join forces in order to exorcise a feral spirit that possessed an old, abandoned vehicle. The monster truck, jeep, motorcycle and locomotive are running amok across the dirty roads of Baruffus, destroying ancient temples, frightening the local fauna and devouring harmless nature spirits. Are you able to momentary put away your grudges in order to chase and chastise the monster before it crosses the finishes lane? Monster Chase comes with 4 new double-faced track tiles, a co-op version of the 8 existing characters, 4 different monsters and 2 decks of tarot-sized cards that determines the monster's behavior and supernatural tricks.
Rush & Bash: Monster Chase supports 2–8 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 Rush & Bash: Monster Chase is 30–45 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 Rush & Bash: Monster Chase for ages 10 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.
Rush & Bash: Monster Chase has a complexity rating of 3.0 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-weight 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.
