Instructions for Monster Cards

Supplies

  • Paper & Pens (to create the Monster Cards)

  • A Receptacle (to hold the Monster Cards)

  • A space for the battles

  • People willing to be creative and have fun (and it does not hurt if they are at least slightly inebriated)

Instructions

Each player creates some (2 – 4) Monster Cards that include an image and a description of the monster. For maximum enjoyment, the monsters should be elements of real life that most of the players can easily identify and relate to.

For Example, "The guy who dances too close and smells like vomit," "The truck that runs cyclists off the road," "High School Insecurity," or "Silence where there should be dissent"

Once all the cards are created, they are placed in a receptacle (hat, bowl, etc.)

The first two battlers are chosen at random.

Each battler chooses a card from the receptacle and shows it to everyone else, except the other battler. And, then the battle is ready to begin. The battlers have one minute to act out their monster in battle with the other monster.

Once the minute is up, the audience chooses the winner of the battle. The winning battler chooses the next opponent. Two new Monster Cards are selected, and the process repeats until the game is over.
