"The black mist of the abyss stirs, monsters and demons emerge from the darkness, but the heroes of the light world will not let darkness take a foothold"
Overview
Overview
Select your hero and develop a deck to lead into combat against mysterious monsters to level up your hero and be the first player to win 4 trophies, or co-operate with your friends to race to defeat the demon of shadows before their influence has spread to the world.
Monster fight is a deck building game where your hand is not discarded between turns, you've got to decide how much you want to commit when facing a monster, as you won't know exactly what you'll face until you try.
Key Information:
Key Information:
The first player to defeat their 3rd monster wins.
At the Start of the game, first player draws 3, second draws 4, third draws 5, ect.
Then each player picks 3 to keep and shuffles the rest into their deck
All (Unique) cards go into the unique deckÂ
When a (Unique) is destroyed, instead shuffle it into the Unique Deck
Once per-game you can flip your token to have an extra action that turn
Setup:
Setup:
Each player is dealt 3 character tokens, they choose one character to add into the game, one character to play as, and another to remove from the game.
That player then collects a starter deck, puts their hero aside and puts their starting cards with their starting deck, and shuffles their basics into the basic quest deck, and their uniques into the unique quest deck.
For the hero they are including, they do the same, but shuffling the hero into the unique quest deck.
The monster deck is shuffled and placed on the board, and the gemstones are placed on the board.
Once all players have sorted out their decks, the quest decks and monster decks are shuffled, then dealt onto the board. An example starting board could look something like this:
Note, if an event is revealed on the initial quest reveal, shuffle it back into the deck
Monster cards are placed face down in the track, and the tokens representing the characters shuffled into the deck are placed beside the board to act as a reference.

Setup
Setup
he 5th God goes on the boss monster spot, put the Ahmethyst on the Ahmethyst spot and put the rest of the Co-Op cards into the standard deck. Only the boss's fail effect triggers
In the standard deck & unique decks, replace conflux with agents of the 5th
For each difficulty level, add an amethyst scholar to both the standard and unique decks.
Playing Co-Op
Playing Co-Op
The boss monster starts with 25 power per player, but their strength is reduced by the combined power of all defeated monsters.
At the end of each turn the player who is going next chooses a quest from the quest board to place into the possessed area, if they choose the gemstones the entire stack of gemstones is possessed. They then reveal new quests as usual.
Ahmethysts will enter play due to the following effects:
The Agent of the 5th will place them directly on the board when revealed
The Ahmetyhst scholar will place them into a player's deck when revealed
The 5th god adds a fail effect to all monsters, which is that the failing player must add an Ahmethyst to their discard.
When a player draws an Ahmethyst, but already has one on their field, they must place the extra Ahmethyst on the quest board.
When an Ahmethyst is placed on the quest board, it is placed on top of an existing card. Once all the quest board spots are filled, the players lose the game.
Ahmythsts can be destroyed / discarded from a player's field or discard, but may not be spent. Once an Ahmythst is on the quest board, it cannot be removed.
When a monster is defeated, the player may place it in the 'defeated' monsters pile, OR tuck it behind their hero to increase their level.
Defeated monsters in the pile subtract their BASE power from the power of the 5th god.
If the 5th god is defeated, the players win the game.
