Monsters of Loch Lomond

You're the chieftain of your clan and are in charge of making your clan safe from Monsters, while keeping a competitive advantage against other clans. Some of the inhabitants are in hiding, and you need to figure out which inhabitant is where, and chase any Monster to the Open Highlands or rivalling clans.

This game is all about memorising cards, taking calculated risks, and strategic long-term decision-making.

It's super easy to learn (5 minutes), fun for the whole family (2-6 players), and can be replayed over and over again.

HOW IT WORKS

Start of the game

Every chieftain starts with four cards faced down in front of them. This is your clan, and each card is one of its inhabitants. To start, each player may peek once at the bottom two cards. Remember them well.

Objective

The goal is to get rid of the Monsters in your clan by chasing them to your opponents or the open Highlands. Each card has a set amount of points, the scarier the monster, the more points it has. So the aim is to have the fewest amount of points. Once you think you're in that position and no longer have any Monster cards in your clan, you can call 'Saorsa' ("freedom" in Gaelic) and after one final turn by each player, the round will end.
