Monster Baby Rescue!

A magic portal opens on Maple Avenue, and suddenly monsters are running through your neighborhood. But these are little monsters – just babies, really. They are certainly not big enough to take care of themselves. They need to go back to their own world, but no one knows how to send them home. You can help. While the Police Department tries to figure out how to reopen the magic portal, you can let one of these sad, malnourished monsters live with you. With love and care, you will be able to send your monster home happy and healthy. OVERVIEW Monster Baby Rescue is a family game – it is simple enough for kids to play, but it offers sophisticated strategic opportunities that will keep adult board gamers engaged. Each player starts the game with a sad, scared baby monster. Players take turns choosing tiles representing different ways of caring for their foundling. Taking a tile costs a variable amount of time, and players must weigh the benefits of a tile against the amount of time it will cost. As the monsters get more care, they become healthier and happier. At the end of the game, the winner is the player whose monster has received the best care.
