Review of Monsters Menace America

Monsters Menace America lets players’ imagination run riot doing stuff like stomping around where fancy takes them, eating anything in sight and going to Hollywood to recover lost health! There is a lot of mayhem, plunder and destruction depicted in Monsters Menace America; however it is evident that it is all in good fun. The strokes of humor in the game keep it fun. The game play involves a lot of options. This makes players think, plan and act. Good challenging work for the old grey cells.

The game board is very well made and storage of all the small pieces is taken care of by a container laid on top of the board. The board folds into four and so there is no issue putting the game away.

The game rules may sound complicated to beginners. Attempts at understanding the game rules promote players’ ability of comprehending abstract concepts. Application of the rules during the game exercises players’ abilities of recall.
