Mix it!

Monster Edition

 

Mix It! Picks up the mechanism of split character images, used also in MixMax or Monster Mix, you need to assemble monsters to meet your template.

You are secretly assigned one of 18 template cards; 36 monster parts for head, torso and feet are shuffled face-down, each player is dealt three part cards and two part cards are placed - in correct position - to start two monster profile; the rest of the cards is stacked face-down.

The active player can play a card from his hand either on a free spot in one of the two profiles or on top of a card already laid out in one of the profiles and draw a card from stack; or he can shift a card from one monster profile to the other profile or he can - once per game - exchange his template card.

When the profiles on the table show a monster depicted on the template card of a player, this player calls “Monster”, turns his template card over to the reward cookie side and draws a new template card. It does not matter which player placed the card to complete a monster profile. If you can form a monster of three parts marked with a star, you win an extra cookie and keep it, until the next player forms such a monster. When two players achieve that at the same time, none of them gets the extra cookie. Whoever is first to collect three cookies, wins.

In the Express version, you have only your template card, no hand cards, and all in turn draw a card from the face-down stack and put it onto one of the profiles.

Not new, but nice - cuddly monsters and simple rules result in a quick, easy family game or game for children, in which you must look closely and react quickly!
