Read the full game description

Push a Monster is a children’s dexterity game about carefully adding chunky wooden creatures to an elevated arena. A die determines which monster must be placed, and the active player may use only the two supplied pushers to nudge it fully onto the platform. Any monsters that tumble off award matching tokens to every other player, so a shaky placement can be costly. When a rolled monster is no longer available, players compare token rows and the longest wins.
