A card-drafting game from Richard Garfield in which players capture and display strange and exotic monsters, hire talented staff, and pursue their own secret goals.
Long Description:
The Royal Monstrological Society counts among its members the most renowned and respected experts in monster lore throughout the entire empire. Each year the Society permits only a single new member to join, so applicants compete to prove their worth with the most magnificent menagerie of monstrous beasts they can find...and capture. To aid in these quests of discovery the Society grants every aspiring monstrologist a small stipend, which they can use to hire additional experts and fund their journeys to the magical lands where the most exotic beasts reside. After four seasons of hunting, would-be members present their collections at the organization's annual banquet, an event known as the "Carnival of Monsters".
