About Monstermonger
Welcome to the unexplored Realms of Dragoris. Part hunter, part trader, Monstermongers capture creatures and sell them to wealthy dungeon keepers to help them stock their lairs. Compete against others to recruit skilled villagers to build a team to capture them. Decide which monsters you want to sell, and which you want to tame to add to your team to help capture even bigger ones. Whoever gets the most gold wins!
Inspired by engine-building Euro-style board games, at the heart of Monstermonger is strategic choice. Sell what you capture to bank your gold now, or invest to gain more gold later? It's a careful balance, but one you'll need to master. Sell too much and you won't be strong enough to capture the monsters that fetch the highest prices - sell too little and your opponent will surely beat you...
Monstermonger is a strategic fantasy Digital Board Game. It plays similarly to award-winning real-life board games like "Splendor" and "Jaipur".
You collect resources (recruit villagers) which allow you to collect more resources (capture monsters), and build up a hand that can sell resources for victory points (gold) which determine the winner. The strategy and tactics are all in deciding which resources of what type to get, when to get them, and then deciding how and when to convert them into your winnings.
As with all good strategy games, the mechanics are straightforward. Learning how to apply them to outsmart your opponent is where the enjoyment and challenge lies!
- Quick to learn, hard to master.
- Compete in a solo campaign & freeplay, or local & online multiplayer.
- Capture over 250 monsters across 8 fantasy realms
- Outwit varied AI with different strategies to beat.
- Gain ranks to become the ultimate Monstermonger!

Disclaimer: I helped to playtest this. I had really good fun with this - it's got that "easy to learn, hard to master" feel. The mechanics are straightforwards, but that disguises some depth of strategy, as I found out when I went from the tutorial to the hard AI and got schooled :-) I'm looking forward to trying multiplayer and finding out how much more there is I don't know yet! Very easy to just dip in for a quick game, but also very easy to get sucked into "just one more"...4 found this helpful
I originally downvoted this because I hit a bug fairly early that stopped progression. The developer was very responsive. I sent him some screenshots of the bug and he is making a number of changes. The game is fun, and the creatures are cool. It's not the world's deepest game, but it is fun and it's not expensive. If you like these sort of soft strategy games to relax with, this is actually one of the better ones I've seen in recent years.3 found this helpful
I'm mostly a board gamer who likes strategy, and this game is very much like playing a great filler game. Sure, it's not the deepest amount of content, but the core game is brilliantly addictive, and the AI is very good. It took me quite a few goes to complete the campaign, and the key decision of "invest or cash out" really is a challenge to get right. The animations and sounds are well balanced - enough to give it some polish, not so much as to get in the way of playing the game just one more time. I'm very much looking forward to when multiplayer drops.2 found this helpful
