The Royal Monstrological Society brings together the most famous experts in Monstrology. Each year the elite society opens its doors to only one new member. In order to prove their worth and expertise, contestants will have 4 seasons time to capture and present to their peers the most beautiful of creatures at the annual corporate banquet known as the Carnival of Monsters. Carnival of Monsters is a draft and collectible game in which players collect cards that allow them to capture and present creatures, recruit new experts, and continue their personal missions. Players get victory points for each monster captured and presented, but also for each mission completed, and for each golden crown earned. In the end, the player with the most spectacular and profitable collection of monsters wins the game and their entry fee into the prestigious Royal Monstrological Society.
