Get Your Monster On!
Monsterpocalypse comes in a starter box that gets you the instructions, dice, maps, two monsters, their powered-up forms, four small minions and two buildings. You can get more monsters with booster packs - Monster Packs with a giant beast and it's powered-up form, or Unit Packs with four units. Each pack also gives you a building so you can make bigger cities to destroy!Comic Chaos
Not only can you get the Monsterpocalypse figures, there's a comic book series too. The premiere issue #0 is only available at game conventions, but you can get issues one to three from stores. And, if you get all three issues, you can mail in the receipts for a free Mega Sky Sentinel figure!Monster Figs - Regular and Powered-Up Ultra Mode

Smash, Bash, Body-Slam!
Once the city is ready and you have your monster and some minions ready to rock, it's time to destroy! Players take turns activating monsters, then units, then monsters again - back and forth. Minions respawn if they get stomped so you never run out, but Monsters get to use Power Dice! You earn Power Dice for smashin' stuff, or defending it, and your massive monsters can use those to power up attacks from basic slams to laser blasts and wicked throws, body slams, fierce rampages and more! Each hit damages the giant monsters and the first one to get KO'd loses.The Game in Action!

Breakin' it Down!
Tons of destruction, huge monsters, crazy wrestling moves and a side order of cheesy fun makes Monsterpocalypse look like a lot of fun. First-timers can play a simple mode that ignores all the weird powers, but when you're ready for a serious rumble you can add them in to give the game a heap of strategy as well as pure chaos. It's a lot of fun and the monsters look awesome - stay tuned for our full game review when Monsterpocalypse slams its way into stores this November!Related Stories:
