Description

This childrens game comes with 27 monster cards, 4 "thwacker" hands with suction cups, and a clever "monster-maker" machine. Each monster has one of three sets of eyes, one of three mouths, and one of three bodies. The monster maker consists of three panels that spin randomly, stopping to form one of the monsters. Players then scan the cards on the table to try to find the one that matches the monster. Whoever "thwacks" the right monster with their thwacker (a long-handled stick with a hand with a suction cup at the end) and picks up the card wins the point. The publisher's description: "Imagine that you're a hunter in the deep, dark jungle. But it's not just any jungle. This one is filled with big, blobby monsters that run wild. Shhh! They're hiding everywhere. But not for long. Press the button on the Monster-Maker Machine and...aha...one appears in a flash! That's the one you've got to mash with your THWACKER hand. Can you do it before the other hunters do? If you think you can, then it's time you started off on this slaphappy adventure called MONSTER MASH. Happy hunting!
