Space Monster: Game of the Month for December '08 · 6 December 08

There’s something alien in Deep Space Outpost 233-B, and it’s hungry. Will you figure out how to neutralize it before it eats you?

Space Monster is a cooperative exploration / adventure / suspense / combat game for one to five players. Your goal is to figure out the space monster’s weaknesses and stop it before it eats everyone on the space station – including you! This brings up an important point: The game is actually only mostly cooperative. if things get really dire, you can make a run for the sole one-person escape pod. If you escape and the monster eats everyone else, you win!

Space Monster uses a modular, card-based board, special powers for each player, a deck of special powers for the monster, and an unusual deck-based hit point system for the monster. The colossal number of permutations these modules can create ensures good replay value.

The rules, cards, and tokens you need to play are all available as a 240 KB PDF.

Space Monster is a fairly complex game. As such, it is appropriate for ages 14 and up. A 4-player game takes about 60+ minutes to play, although your first game may take significantly longer.
