Encyclopedia of Monsters (EN)

Encyclopedia of Monsters takes players on an unforgettable journey around the globe where every game becomes a new expedition into the world's legends. In this cooperative board game, players travel across five continents searching for mythical monsters, spirits, and legendary creatures hidden within local folklore. Working together, you'll rely on memory, observation, and teamwork to complete the famous Encyclopedia of Monsters before every candle goes out.

Presented as five beautifully illustrated encyclopedia volumes, each representing a different continent, the game features fifteen unique destinations, each introducing its own monsters, special rules, and gameplay twists. Every country offers fresh challenges that gradually increase in complexity, allowing children and adults alike to discover new mechanics while building confidence from one adventure to the next. The result is an experience with exceptional replayability that continually rewards exploration.

Encyclopedia of Monsters is much more than a traditional family board game. Every booklet includes fascinating information about the folklore, customs, and legendary creatures of the countries you visit. Developed with the participation of anthropologists and cultural specialists from around the world, the game encourages curiosity while presenting legends in a respectful and engaging way. Maud Chalmel's stunning illustrations bring every creature and destination to life, making each discovery memorable.

You will love Encyclopedia of Monsters if you enjoy accessible cooperative games, memory challenges, family adventures, and discovering stories inspired by cultures from around the world. If you're looking for a game that combines learning, teamwork, and exciting gameplay, this title deserves a place in your collection.

One of the game's most original features is its encyclopedia-style progression. Each continent functions as its own game box with exclusive mechanics and challenges, creating a constantly evolving experience throughout the campaign. The involvement of anthropologists and local experts also makes this an exceptional educational adventure that celebrates world folklore with authenticity.

Encyclopedia of Monsters was designed by Antoine Bauza, the award-winning creator of 7 Wonders, Takenoko, and Hanabi, alongside Corentin Lebrat (Draftosaurus) and Théo Rivière (Detective Charlie, The Mice House). Beautiful artwork by Maud Chalmel completes this magical journey around the world.
