Played like a TCG, Priced like a Board Game

Here Be Monsters isn't your average TCG, it's a TREASURE Card Game. That means you can collect exciting rare cards or play it right out of the box!

How is that even possible?!?!

Your Choice. Your Adventure.

We love TCGs for their personality expression and deckbuilding. But we hate the overwhelming costs and gambling tactics. With Here Be Monsters you can choose from two options: the TCG Path and the Playset Path.

 Chase Unique Cards...

This is the traditional TCG approach. Where players get packs in Stowaway Boxes, trying to collect all of the alt art and holofoil cards! This allows you to explore the game without a map (which is very pirate).

Oh, and did we mention each Stowaway Box is draftable?

...or Play Right Out of the Box

This option allows you to get full playsets of every card in expansions, so you can play the game your way! It's perfect if you want to dive into the full experience without draining your wallet!

You've Never Played Cards Like This!

Fresh High Seas gameplay - with exciting combos, strategic board placement and devilish traps, keeps you asking where this game has been your whole life!

Are You Ready to Fire the Cannons?

But watch out! Your opponent might fire the cannons and sink your best ship!! Master the navigation of these tricky waters and when it's the opportune moment, Search for the Treasure and win the game!

Easy Sailing for Beginners... Expansive Ocean for Experts

Here Be Monsters is the kind of card game even your Board Game friends will love. But don't let the approachable rules fool you... the combos, nuances and complexity of the game means you'll still be discovering new things for years to come!

You're Not Going to Believe This...

Our artist is crazy. He drew every. single. piece. of. art. in Apple’s version of POWERPOINT!! The presentation software!! We’re serious. He actually did this. We kept trying to get him to stop, but he hissed at us.
