About the Game

A very special Encyclopedia!

Hello Globetrotters! In this cooperative memory game, you will travel around the world in search of the monsters, spirits, and legendary creatures that inhabit it.

The Encyclopedia of Monsters comes in 5 colourful Volumes - like a real encyclopedia - that represent the 5 Continents. Each Volume contains all the necessary components to visit that Continent’s 3 Countries. Each Country offers you new ways to play, with its own rules, challenges, and monsters.

Find all the Monsters! On your turn, play a Monster card and use its Special Rule to try to find the corresponding token. If you successfully find that Monster, it stays visible; otherwise, a Candle is blown out, all the Monsters flip face-down again... and you start over, and try to remember where each one is hiding!

This is not just a game! Each page you turn in your encyclopedia teaches you something about the customs or creatures of each Country you are visiting, sometimes even in the words of the people who live there.
