Board Game Review of Monster City Planners

Monster City Planners by Gary Dahl, published by Sugar Pill Studios
2-4 Players, 20 minutes, ages 12+

A couple years ago, The Game Crafter hosted a Microgame Design Contest sponsored by All Us Geeks and Father Geek.  Many great games were entered including Monster City Planners, which featured card drafting, city building/destruction, and multiple use cards.  So let’s see how destruction and construction via Kaiju Rampage can work for you.
