[Overview] Rock Paper Monsters is a turn-based card game that follows the core mechanics of Rock Paper Scissors, with an added element of scoring points based off of the card value. Every card has a cartoon illustrated monster, with some having trigger abilities that occur at various points in the game. Players take turns playing Monster or Bonus cards to both destroy opponent s cards and score the most points. Each Monster type has a strength and weakness against another type. Bonus cards can be played instead of a Monster card, providing unique advantages. The player with the highest score after all cards are played wins a Monster Bite. Cards are then reshuffled and the next round begins. The first player to 10 Monster Bites wins. [Gameplay] Beginning Phase: Each player draws 6 cards. Then, each player takes 3 cards off the Draw pile and places then face down in a row across from each other. When ready, flip over each card and determine the winning Monster. Monster cards battle directly across from each other. Play Phase: At the start of a player s turn, they may choose to discard 1 card in hand and draw 1 card from the Draw pile. Next, the player plays 1 card immediately to the left or to the right of one of their cards in play. If they have no cards in play, they must play a card across from one of their opponent s cards. When playing a Monster Card, if their opponent has a Monster Card directly across from their Monster Card, they begin the [Battle]. When playing a Bonus Card, no battle occurs. This completes their turn and it is now their opponent s turn to play. Continue alternating turns until all cards in hand are played.
