So on to rambling about strategy. It’s amazing how much one can learn in the first few games of Monsterpocalypse. The first time you combine abilities in an unexpected way or take back-to-back monster activations can be a real eye-opener and can add excitement and passion to the game. The first multi-monster game is another important milestone that unlocks all sorts of new tactics and possibilities. And the first tournament victory with accompanying shiny new mega form, well… I think that one speaks for itself.

Suffice it to say, we’re all at different places when it comes to the level of strategy that we currently understand in the game of Monsterpocalypse. Maybe you don’t remember any rules or abilities without looking them up, and maybe you’re ready to place in a world-wide Monsterpocalypse championship. More than likely, you fall somewhere in between.

The Monsterpocalypse strategy guides need to take that into account. We want content that is going to hit lots of readers, sort of a midline of our players. So the bulk of the strategy guide content is written to that audience. There’s information on the strengths of each monster and unit, and there are tips on how to combine them into effective armies. There are also general strategy articles, a Monsterpocalypse puzzle to solve, and preview information for the next Monsterpocalypse series to come down the road.

For players who are newer to Monsterpocalypse or who take a more casual interest in the game, we have added complete ability lists beneath each monster and unit entry and have added more of the background story of Monsterpocalypse to the strategy guide. The I Chomp NY strategy guide also contains an article about alternate scenarios, ways to play Monsterpocalypse that won’t be found at your local tournament but that will let you reenact scenes from monster movies or inspire you to create new scenarios of your own.

For cagey veterans, the strategy guide includes a new map, a new quick reference guide, and complete stats for every figure in I Chomp NY. If you also find some tidbits to help you fight with or against certain figures, then great. Even if not, however, the guide serves as a compilation of the monsters and units you can use or fight in this new series. Your own analysis will serve you as well (if not better) than ours, and in-game experience is still the best teacher of all.

So whether you just heard about Monsterpocalypse this morning, have been dominating your local tournaments for months, or anywhere in between, I truly hope that you’ll enjoy the I Chomp NY strategy guide!
