Monster Trap
You control left and right, your partner controls forward and back, and the monster needs to reach the trap.
Who it's for
Groups of exactly four who want a physical team game, and families with kids around six who like a bit of shouting.
Not for you if…
You do not have four players, since the pairing is the whole design. There is also no strategy at all, and the game has been out of print for years.
Vibe's take
Loud, cooperative within each pair and hopelessly uncoordinated at first. The laughter comes from pulling in opposite directions.
About this game
Grandma Frieda is at the front door and she must not see the monsters. Two players share control of one monster, one working the sideways slider and the other the lengthwise one, pushing it into the trap in the middle of the mansion before she rings again.
