Frustrating but lots of fun

I've seen this game a lot in shops but it never jumped out at me enough to buy. However having been roped into playing it by my nephews, I was pleasantly surprised at how much fun it was.

At first when the rules were explained I got a little confused, but you soon get the hang of it when actually playing. Its a highly entertaining strategy based game with a unique board that gets very competitive and frustrating when people keep preventing you from reaching your items! It's even fun as a team based game, and it actually potentially helps to discuss strategy with a team member rather than play on your own. The only criticism I have of this is that some of the artwork and graphics are a little basic and not as good as you would expect.

I would definitely recommend playing this game, although maybe not after sitting out in the sun all day with some alcoholic beverages - you need to be fairly alert and on the ball to play this!

It's quick to learn (4 more)

Each round only lasts about 15 minutes

There's a good amount of skill involved as well as just luck of the draw

The artwork is cute and simple

The game mechanics work well together

When you play with multiple players and get to the later stages of the game, it can become more about luck rather than skill. (0 more)

Simple But Fun

Boss Monster 2 is a really fun introduction to board games for people who want to expand beyond mainstream games like Uno or Scrabble, but don't want to commit to hour long games with complicated rules.

This is an improvement on the original, in my opinion, as it allows for more interaction between cards, and the new additions to the deck are really clever.

Building your own dungeon involves having to make tactical decisions, and although you're limited by which cards you draw, the main decider of the game is the order in which you play them.

This game is as fun with 2 players as it is with 4. I'd highly recommend it.
