Terrible Monster: Desperation

Note: This is an Expansion.

Deep in the swamps dwells an ancient and formidable creature. Two powerful voodoo workers are locked in a brutal battle for control of this monster, calling forth magical allies and pushing their arcane powers to the limit in the pursuit of victory. Who will be the first to summon the terrible monster… and will it be enough to win the day?

Terrible Monster is a dueling micro-game for two players. Anyone familiar with collectible card games will find recognizable concepts – attacks, monsters, counters and hand management – in less than ten minutes. The Desperation expansion adds playable characters with unique traits and abilities.

The base game is required to play.

Components:

• 4 action cards

• 7 character cards

For gamers who:

• Pride themselves on finding new combinations and tactics

• Enjoy sudden, dramatic reversals of fortune

• Don’t mind the occasional (un)lucky round

• Love micro-games, but wish they had a little more depth

The balance between the cards and the genius counter system make for great strategic choices, and I generally never feel cheated by luck. - Chris
