Description
The Creature That Ate Sheboygan is a classic game where you get to unleash your inner monster and wreak havoc on the city of Sheboygan. As one of two players, you design your own monster, whether it's a giant lizard or a massive slug, and then try to destroy as much of the city as possible. Your opponent, on the other hand, tries to scramble civilians to safety and then sends in the police and eventually the army to stop you. This 1979 game, designed by Greg Costikyan, is easy to learn and plays out over 90 minutes. With its unique blend of area movement, dice rolling, and variable player powers, it's a fun and simulation-filled experience that's perfect for fans of science fiction and wargames. As a party game, it's great for playing with a friend, and its influence can still be seen in modern games today.
