Overview

Carnival of Monsters is a captivating card-drafting game where players embark on quests to collect the most magnificent monsters and build their own carnival. The goal is clear: become the most successful monstrologist by displaying exotic creatures, achieving secret goals, and amassing gold crowns over four seasons. Each player starts with a small stipend, allowing them to hire staff and fund expeditions to magical lands where rare beasts reside. As players gather land cards representing these mystical monsters, they must strategically choose which sets to collect, balancing the pursuit of individual goals with the desire for a well-rounded collection. The game's mechanics are both engaging and complex, blending closed drafting, dice rolling, loans, and set collection in a way that keeps players deeply involved throughout each season. With its rich narrative and high replayability, Carnival of Monsters offers a unique blend of strategy and adventure, making it a favorite among enthusiasts who appreciate deep gameplay and thematic depth.
