Monster My Neighbor

About this board game

Monster My Neighbor is a card game for 3–8 players that plays in about 20 minutes, placing a monster and a hunter in a tense contest of discovery and escape.

One player is the monster, while another is the hunter, but the identities are not immediately known. The hunter seeks to capture the monster, while the monster tries to escape from the hunters. To succeed, players must work out who holds each important role.

Each player begins with four cards in hand and uses one card per turn. Card effects continually change the cards players hold, making the hand evolve throughout the game and shaping each decision as the contest unfolds.

• 3–8 players
• Approximately 20 minutes of play
• Four starting cards per player
• One card used each turn
• Changing hands driven by card effects

The central challenge is to identify the monster or hunter and then take the relevant key cards. Finding those cards is only part of the task: you must also use your available cards wisely to claim victory.

With uncertain identities, shifting hands, and a clear objective for both sides, Monster My Neighbor focuses every turn on reading the situation and choosing when to act. Whether you are trying to capture the monster or escape the hunters, success depends on finding the right role and securing the key cards before your opponents do.
