When science goes crazy, monsters are born... and laughter
In Making Monsters, you're not just a scientist, but a true mad genius participating in the most absurd fair ever: the Monster Maker Science Fair . Here, the winner isn't the prudent, but the most daring: sort monster parts, draw from the bag, and create increasingly strange and spectacular creatures.
Each round is a mix of risk and strategy : push yourself to the limit to complete your experiments, but be careful not to let the lab collapse amidst tentacles and extra eyes. Completing monsters not only earns you points, but also grants you upgrades and unique powers that make your collection even more insane. And finally, the Grand Finale will test your memory, resources, and courage.
Why "Making Monsters" is an unforgettable experience
- 👹 Bizarre and spectacular monsters : each creation is unique and waiting to be shown off
- 🎲 Bag-building and push-your-luck : risk and adrenaline with every catch
- 🤖 Help from Lester , the most unpredictable robotic assistant at the fair
- ⚡ Upgrades and strategic combos to push your experiments further
- 🏆 Epic Grand Finale : Choose your best monsters and go all out for glory

Product Details
🐸 HOW TO PLAY
1. Arrange the parts secretly
At the start of each round, players secretly decide how many monster pieces to order . This requires intuition: risking too much gives you more options, but attracting too much attention or running out of resources can prove disastrous.
2. Fish from the bag and assemble
With the push-your-luck bag-building system, pieces are drawn and used to build creatures. The more risks you take, the bigger and more powerful the monsters become… but if you fail, your creation could crumble.
3. Complete monsters for points and power-ups
A completed monster is reanimated and provides you with prestige points as well as permanent powers that enrich your laboratory board. Over time, your collection of abominations becomes increasingly efficient and strategic.
4. Take advantage of Lester and the Science Fair
Your robotic assistant Lester and science fair events offer bonuses and twists that can alter the game, giving you unexpected tactical advantages.
5. Face the Grand Finale
In the final challenge, you choose the five best monsters from your lab and try to complete them with your remaining resources. This is where everything comes to a head: whoever manages memory, risk, and strategy best will be crowned the winner of the fair .
It's not enough to create monsters. You have to make them unforgettable.
A chaotic laboratory, bizarre monsters, and the glory of the Science Fair
Making Monsters – Mad Science Becomes a Show
Imagine a crowded pavilion, neon lights, and tables full of scientists laughing, screaming, and assembling limbs, eyes, and heads of never-before-seen creatures. In Making Monsters , you're one of them: a mad scientist ready to astound the judges with absurd and ingenious creations.
Every draw from the bag is a thrill: will you find the right part to complete your monster, or will you risk seeing it collapse in front of everyone? It's a game where madness meets strategy , and every turn can bring spectacular triumphs or memorable disasters.
A family game with risk, laughter and creativity
Making Monsters is a strategic family board game for 2–4 players , with games lasting 45–60 minutes.
With a mix of bag building, pushing your luck, and tableau building , it turns every game into a challenge of creativity and calculated risk. Perfect for those looking for a light yet clever board game , capable of entertaining families, groups of friends, and players who love fast-paced, colorful games full of surprises. The Kickstarter Standard edition includes improved components and the Grand Finale, a special round that truly tests memory and planning.
The Science of Risk 🐸
The special feature of Making Monsters is its dynamic push your luck : the more you risk, the more power you get… but one step too many and your experiment collapses.
Each completed monster isn't just a victory point: it becomes a permanent upgrade, opening up new strategies and increasingly crazy combos. And when the Grand Finale arrives, everything is decided in one fell swoop: five monsters to revive in front of the jury to prove you're the true master of the lab.
