This work presents a fast-paced card game featuring the art of illustrator Michael Slack. Players collect a colourful assortment of monster cards and their monster's favorite gross stuff (from toxic slime to gooey eyeballs to severed limbs) cards. Trump Card-like King Stink cards can steal a player's loot of monsters and gross stuff., allowing for plenty of quick, silly play. This work features cards and a gamepad as well as a 48 pp hardback instruction book with full-colour illustrations and descriptions of all the monsters. It is suitable for 2-4 players, ages 6 and up.
