Monstrology is a fully cooperative game of strange, alluring, yet somehow familiar imaginary monsters...and you, their humans. It's a much more surreal, imaginative, reinterpretation of the childhood classic "Guess Who" - featuring monsters that are a mix of Dr. Seuss and H.P. Lovecraft. Players take on the role of budding Monstrologists in a collegiate level course on the subject, trying to identify these delightful, unsettling creatures. It's easy to learn after playing just one or two rounds, which take about 5-10 minutes each.
Each turn, one player is the 'subject' of a monstrological investigation. That player secretly draws a monster card from a deck of 84 beautifully illustrated characters; that player then fills out a "taxonomy rubric" to help the other players pick the monster in question out of a lineup. The trick is, each rubric only allows the subject to share information relevant to a particular feature of the monster - for example, its skills, habitats, magical powers or vulnerabilities. Great debates, thoughtful conversation, and often hilarity ensues as the other players attempt to select the right monster.
