King of Monster Island is a cooperative game by Richard Garfield in which players embody giant Monsters who must fight together to defeat a titanic Boss before he can complete the construction of an interdimensional portal.
In each round, players roll dice to hit, heal, gain energy to buy cards, move around the island, find support, or gain a little glory. Each monster can cooperate with its peers by building boats, offering many actions to other players, or leaving them the dice to use in future turns. Many powers, actions, and allies will be available, giving players a wide range of actions. By specializing, players can complement and help each other.
The Boss, on the other hand, is managed by the game. Everything is done through the results of dice rolled into the volcano. He then moves around the island, activates his Minions wherever he goes, and attacks nearby Monsters with his powers and army. His goal? To allow his Minions to set up the Pylons necessary for the construction of the portal.
To win, players must defeat the Boss. If he manages to activate his portal, or get rid of one of the players' Monsters, Earth will be permanently lost!
