Well, someone near you is playing Monster Us!\r\n\r\nMonster Us - a card game battle between two or more players! Assemble a monster using Parts cards, and attack other players part by part. Cause the most damage to win the game!\r\n\r\nPrint out the Rules sheet and the provided Parts cards - there are 70 of them ready-made, just for you! - or create Parts of your own! Grab a d12, a d6, and some little trinkets to represent damage, and you're ready to go!\r\n\r\n-----------\r\n\r\nThe game is simple - attack other players, part by part, with your own parts. For example, \"I attack your Shark Head with my Fuzzy Baby Kitten Toe Bean Foot for 5 damage!\" \r\n\r\nYou may defeat the Shark Head and capture it for points, or (in Hard mode) add the Shark Head to your own monster to create a mega-monster of doom!\r\n\r\nBut watch out - your attack also hurts you with recoil!\r\n\r\nThere are three possible win conditions depending on if you would like to play a short game, a medium to long game, or a potentially infinite stalemate that could last you a train ride to Chicago and back or something.\r\n\r\n-----------\r\n\r\nI will accept ratings on just the art and the concept and gameplay based on a quick read through of the rules sheet, but if you actually print it out and play it and stuff I'm especially interested in your thoughts! (also, go you and thank you and...I love you?)\r\n\r\n-----------\r\n\r\nCredits\r\n\r\nA Compo Game for Ludum Dare 33\r\nby Heather Ketten\r\n\r\nGame Design, Art: Heather Ketten\r\nParts Ideas: Josh Smith, Alicia Thornley, Ashley Cluver, Nate Bradley, Daniel Rushton, Ted Brown\r\nPlay Testing, Feedback: Britt Brady, Ted Brown, Sean Dorries \r\nTechnical Assistance (giving the scanner what-for): Michael Jones\r\n\r\nFonts (used in Rule sheet and logo): Google's \"Eater\" and \"Jolly Lodger\", and Microsoft's \"Corbel\"\r\nPrograms: Adobe Illustrator (for logo), OpenOffice (for rule sheet)\r\nSupplies: Mr. Sketch markers, Infinity permanent markers, Sharpies, Crayola Twistable colored pencils, 0.5 Copic Multiliner (for card titles)\r\n\r\nDeveloped in Eugene, Oregon with the Eugene Area Game Developers, aka Bitforest\r\n\r\nSpecial thanks to:\r\nFertilab Thinkubator and RAIN Eugene for the use of a comfy space!\r\nMECCA (Materials Exchange Center for Community Arts) Eugene for the amazingly cheap index cards and little rocks!\r\n\r\n-----------\r\n\r\nSearch terms: card game, analog game, physical game, board game (not a board game but if you're looking for board games you might like it), dice game (there are dice I don't even know)","title":"Monster Us"}
