Collectors Information

We know a lot of you have some questions about the upcoming Monsterpocalypse game and how it will be presented. I hope this blog has answered a number of those questions, but it occurred to me that we had not yet addressed some of the most basic information, like when we’re scheduled to release. Here, then, is some information that we think you will find useful:

The game is set to launch at the beginning of October and expansions should follow about every four months, give or take a couple of weeks here and there.

Starter Boxes ($24.99) contain one random monster with one corresponding Hyper form, two preset buildings, and four preset Units. All preset figures will appear in the set as well. Additionally, you will get one two-sided map, one 64-page rulebook, one Handy Reference Guide, four Boost Dice, 10 Action Dice, and 10 Power Dice.

Monster Boosters ($12.99) contain one random monster and one corresponding Hyper form. Each monster in the set has one corresponding Hyper form that comes with it in the booster each time. There are 12 monsters total in the first set, and all monsters have the same rarity. You may only use one of any monster when you play – even with the Multi-Monster rules. Monsters are labeled “***” for their rarity.

Unit Boosters ($12.99) contain one random building and four random units. There are nine buildings total, all with the same rarity (although two of those buildings will be preset in the starter). Buildings are labeled “**” for their rarity. There are 36 units total (six per faction). Fourteen of the Units are labeled “*”, which is the most frequent, 10 are labeled “**” (a bit less frequent), and 12 are labeled “***”, which are the hardest to acquire. You get one “***”, one “**”, and two “*” per booster. You may play with up to five of any one type of unit or building when you play.
