O Vale dos Monstros

About this board game

O Vale dos Monstros is a competitive board game for 2–5 players, with games lasting about 60 minutes. Players compete to become the most terrifying monster by frightening visitors and taking control of tents in a camping area.

Each player chooses a monster type: vampire, werewolf, ghost, witch, skeleton, or mummy. Every type has different skills, but all share the same goal: scare the children, men, and women visiting the campsite. As the game unfolds, players build their presence across the hexagonal board.

On each turn, players perform three actions. These actions let them move, frighten visitors, capture visitors and transform them into monsters, claim tents, or attack other monsters.

• Move up to three spaces on the hexagonal board.
• Scare visitors in the camping area.
• Capture a visitor and transform it into a monster.
• Take control of a tent.
• Attack rival monsters.

Points are awarded for controlling tents, scaring visitors, and having a large number of monsters. These competing scoring opportunities make every action part of the struggle for dominance, whether you are expanding your monster group, targeting visitors, or challenging an opponent’s position.

With different camping set-ups and two expert variants, O Vale dos Monstros offers multiple ways to play. The player with the most points at the end wins the contest to prove which monster is the most terrifying.
