About the game
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.
