Four adventurers. Four attacks... but only one will slay the monster. In Squish’em!: Fantasy – you will play the Elf, the Summoner, the Barbarian and the Speller against more than 20 different monsters : a Cute Lil Bunny, a Cockatrice, a Manotaur, a Hat Golem, a Boy scout… These “monsters” (often cute or funny) are too terrorized to counter-attack, but be careful because the other players want the same thing you want : give the coup de grâce to that adorable little creature. Your goal is simple : be the first to slay 3 creatures. Unfortunately, you can collide with other players or find your attacks cancelled by a monster or player's effect. Squish’em!: Fantasy is the first game of the series Squish’em! All these games are stand-alone and can also be mixed to play with more heroes and more monsters. Components : Box - Rules - 66 cards
