Post by: loppo on November 27, 2012, 05:35:38 am
On last weekends "Spielefest Wien" i discovered a new game from Donald X. Vaccarino.

Heres a link (doesn't say much though):

the game is a tile placing game, a little bit like Carcassonne. Your goal is to create monsters. The biggest completed monster wins. So it's quite easy, but nevertheless very cute. My daughters absolutely love it. The even dismissed a Walt Disney Princess + ballet thingy and claimed they would rather build monsters instead.

Talking to Jay from Rio Grande, this game has no publisher in german yet, so it might be a bit difficult to gain. I ordered a copy from great Britain. It just arrived yesterday, and we were playing a couple of games yesterday.

This game is a lot of fun and definitely suited for kids. The kids love it and the adults wont mind playing it. The monsters you create are really cute. It has a slight tactical approach, since you can mess around with other players monsters, so it might be also a step towards deeper boardgames.

If you are looking for a X-mas gift for a family with kids, you can easily do worse.
