Accessible gameplay

Simplified rules, resources, and combat make Here Be Monsters fast to learn and play. It's perfect for burnt out TCG players, board gamers who are intimidated by TCGs, and parents who want to bring the magic of TCGs to the next generation.

Approachable model

Not everyone likes the gambling aspects of TCGs. That's why we're offering full playsets of every single card in the game in one box.

 Treasure hunt collecting

For those who do like collecting, we want to make it as fun as when you were a kid. In addition to exciting alternate art and retro holofoils, find ultra rare treasure cards that require a mail-in treasure hunt!

Fantastic limited environment

With no faction-specific cards or resources, each Stowaway Box is ready-made for draft and sealed players. One Stowaway Box (containing 6 packs) is all two players need to play an exciting draft game.

Our lovely pirates

Pirates of all shapes and sizes sail throughout The Monster Coast. From cool to cuddly to cutthroat, the world of Here Be Monsters is a Saturday morning cartoon brought lovingly to life by one of our co-creators, Carson Einarsen. 

Also, he does all of the art in Apple's version of PowerPoint. No, we don't know why. He's special and perfect and we love him.
