Speedy Monsters - Monsters Go Home  (2-6 Players)

It's getting late, and the monsters need to get home!

Objective:

Be the first to collect four MonsterCards of the same monster and one MonsterHouse card of the same monster to win!

Game Setup:

Shuffle the cards and deal five to each player. The rest of the cards will be placed in the cache.

Gameplay:

In each turn, four cards are drawn from the cache and placed on the table face up. Players can exchange as many cards as they want with their own, but only one card at a time. There are no turns, so players can exchange their cards simultaneously.

The exchange continues until all players are happy with their cards. Then, set aside the four cards on the table, draw four new ones from the cache, and place them face up on the table.

The game continues until one player collects four MonsterCards of the same monster and their MonsterHouse card.

Wizard Card: Watch out for the wizard card! The first player to grab it from the table can choose which monster gets to stay out late and whose cards cannot be collected.

The Wizard card cannot be kept! If it's drawn during setup, replace it with another card.

So, get ready to race home with the monsters and be the first to win!

Speedy Monsters - Pile Panic (2-3 Players)

Be the fastest player and get rid of your cards first!

Objective:

 Play four rounds. The first to get rid of all their cards wins the round. The player with the least number of cards at the end of the game is the winner! A player that got rid of all their cards before the end of the game automatically wins.

 Game Setup:

 Shuffle the cards and divide them into equal piles, one for each player. Each player places five cards face down on the table, then adds a face-up card on top of each. That's ten cards on the table per player.

 Gameplay:

 Players simultaneously draw a card from their pile and put it on top of a joint pile in the center of the table. Using only one hand, players can quickly place cards from their face-up cards on top of the center piles, as long as the upper card in a center pile has the same monster or same activity as their card. 

Rules:

•                  Place a MonsterCard or MonsterHouse card on top of a card of the same Monster or the same activity.

•                  A MonsterHouse card can be placed on any card of the same monster color. Once a MonsterHouse card is played, that pile is closed for that turn.

•                  Since Flitzy the green monster is so smelly, no other monster wants to get near him so only Flitzy Monsters can be placed on another Flitzy Monster card.

•                  Wizard cards can be placed on any other card and any card can be placed on it. Wizard cards are the only cards that can be played with two hands.

•                  At any time, up to five cards can be face-up. If there are fewer than five cards face-up, players can flip over face-down cards.

•                  If all players run out of moves, each player draws a card from their pile and places it on the top of the center piles and the game continues.

•                  The first player to discard all their cards, wins the round and takes the smaller center pile.

•                  Play four rounds and the player with the least number of cards at the end of the game is the winner. If a player discards all their cards before the end of the game, they automatically win!
