What is this world coming to? My 2 year old has no decent respect for a fear mongering bedroom bogeyman? The average closet hiding monster? She sees him (or her) as merely a plaything for her amusement.
I suspect Zombies approaching my girl would becoming unwitting pawns in a sinister game of Tea Party. Vampires would be conscripted into holding her in front of a mirror so it looked like she was levitating.
Thus...the ANAYA variant of Go Away Monsters.
Set Up:
Proceed with the normal setup. Each player gets a bedroom (after carefully examining each card for whatever set of animal slippers is appealing at that moment). Place all of the pieces in the bag.
Play:
As with the standard game, each player in turn takes a tile. However, normally, the players are required to scream, "Go away Monster!" if one is drawn from the bag.
In this variant...all the players shout "Come and PLAY Monster" and is placed in the players bedroom, most frequently in the bed tile where..."The Monster is sleeping."
If the player draws a non-monster tile, they place the piece in their own room. Once the player has all of their bedroom tiles, they stop drawing tiles.
End of Game:
The game ends when the final player draws their last bedroom piece. The 'winner' is the player with the most monsters! Of course!
Daughter Unfair Advantage Rule:
In practice, my daughter often keeps drawing tiles after her bedroom is complete. She keeps all monster tiles and gives away bedroom tiles, thus ending the game faster and winning more. She is awfully cute.
