Description

Ever tried to out‑wit a sneaky monster with nothing but a handful of tiles and a grin? That’s the vibe you get with Monster Decoy, the quick‑fire two‑player showdown that feels like a lightning‑fast game of chess played in a monster‑infested fantasy forest. In just twenty‑odd minutes you’ll be sliding, flipping, and surrounding goofy beasts, all while trying to keep your partner’s decoy safely tucked away from the jaws of danger. The rules are so simple that you can get the game rolling while the pizza’s still in the oven, yet the tile‑placement and enclosure tactics give you enough depth to keep even the savviest strategists coming back for more. Designed by Kotori in 2019, Monster Decoy blends the whimsical charm of a children’s game with the sleek, abstract‑strategy feel of a classic board contest. You and your opponent work as a quirky team, each laying down tiles to shape corridors, walls, and secret hideouts that either trap the monster or protect your decoy. The magic comes from the tug‑of‑war: one move can turn a harmless path into a lethal cage, and a single clever placement can flip the whole board on its head. It’s a perfect mix of laugh‑out‑loud moments and brain‑teasing puzzles, all wrapped up in a fantasy theme that makes every round feel like a mini‑adventure. Grab a friend, set the tiles, and see who can pull the ultimate monster‑sized bluff!
