	Description Edit \| History

A card based game of giant monster combat a la Godzilla. Players are dealt cards which they use to build their monsters, defining their abilities, powers, and appearance. Players then draw map cards to create the playing area and the stage is set for the showdown. Monsters move around the map, attacking the terrain and each other. Victory is determined by who destroys the most people, property, and other monsters. Event cards add to the excitement.
