Each battle consists of 10 tricks — unless the monster's special ability dictates otherwise — forcing players to adapt on the fly. To win, players must be the first to defeat three monsters. After defeating a monster, players gain access to its trophy, which they can use in later rounds to gain an edge in future battles. Those who don t win a round aren t left behind — they receive equipment to strengthen their chances in the next encounter. With constantly evolving gameplay, strategic use of monster abilities, and clever planning, no two games are ever the same. -description from designer
