Monster Tournament

A card game for 2 to 6 players. Every card has a picture, a name, a strength from 1 to 7 and a law. Strength and law come from the name, so the same name always gives the same card. Bomb cards fill the free slots on the last page.

You print the cards and cut them out. Each player gets up to 10 cards and the rest of the deck becomes the law pile. Every round you turn over one law, such as “the lowest strength wins”, and everyone plays a card at the same time. Equal strengths cancel out, and the winner takes the cards on the table and the hot bomb. When a card with a flame turns up, the bomb explodes and its holder puts half of their cards back in the middle.

Suitable from Year 3. Children compare numbers, read short rules and decide when to save a strong card.
