Beautiful Monsters is a quick-playing 2-player card game about recruiting a team of monsters, dressing them up in accessories, and entering them into a beauty contest!

Multi-use cards: Each monster can have a varying number of accessories attached, and each accessory can be attached to augment the monster's traits -OR- enhance their personality. Scoring is tight, so this choice makes a world of difference!

Hybrid open/closed drafting: You can use monsters/accessories from your hand -OR- from the Shortlist/Market (public card rows). Either way, you always end up putting a card into at least one of those rows. Will you put junk there to limit your opponent's options, or will you take a risk by leaving something useful for you to use on your next turn?

Variable scoring criteria: Each game has a unique combination of scoring criteria shared by both players. 2 criteria award points based on which monster(s) you committed to it. A 3rd criteria modifies those points based on the composition of your opponent's team or even the Shortlist/Market. Focusing your strategy on one area means neglecting another, so pick your battles carefully!

Beautiful Monsters was created and self-published from the ground up by Chris Logsdon and Alix Lytton (aka Maow House). What started as a challenge to make a game in 1 month has become their first foray into their dream of bringing to life the games they want to see in the world.
