Overboss: A Boss Monster Adventure

Players emerge as rival Boss Monsters vying to dominate the Overworld by drafting and placing terrain tiles and monster tokens each turn. Map-building and set collection drive scoring: place Forests, Swamps, Caves, Camps, Graveyards, Dungeon Entrances and other landscapes to form high-value sets, arrange tiles for optimal placement, and deploy monsters to earn bonus points when grouped or matched to terrain. Gameplay blends drafting, tile-laying, and tactical disruption as players balance growing set values against opponents’ maps across multiple rounds for up to five players.
