Monsters are brawling in an arena, and the arena is a raised platform in the middle of the table. On your turn you push one monster onto the platform, hoping it settles without shoving anyone off the edge. If monsters fall, everyone else collects tokens, and the longest row of tokens wins.

Who it's for

Mixed groups with kids from five upwards where you want something everyone can win, since a careful adult has no real advantage.

Not for you if…

You need a smooth, level table, because a wobbly surface ruins it. There are no real decisions to make, and older kids will treat it as a party trick rather than a game.

Vibe's take

Gentle pushes, held breath, then a cascade of falling monsters and shrieking. The tension builds every round as the platform fills up.
