Carnival of Monsters

It's ok. But the game plays you. And I won just because I got the right companions at the start. I won with 150 to 100 to the second place. It's just too random and luck based what season it is and which cards you get. I had 5 companions and the card showed up which gave me 3 VPs for every companion... And then you have to roll dice for keeping the monsters. If someone is lucky he doesn't have to pay anything and if someone has bad luck he has to take 2 loands (-10VPs) and also has to spend the received money to keep the monster. Double penalty.

Illustrations are pretty ugly. Decent... Some of them terrible. I was strict by the seller in a shop to buy it but I think he wanted to get rid of it... maybe I'm wrong. The game is a little lame but still need to play more. Doesn't work for two people it's not that fun... maybe with more people it will get better I will update the review afterwards.
