Make-Out Monsters
Make-Out Monsters is a tabletop deckbuilder where players compete for the affections of a cast of monster lovers. Chat up the hottest monsters in the club to learn how to be sexy from the best in the business. Increase your satisfaction by planting kisses, or steal it from your friends by attacking them. It’s a competition to see who can court the most creatures, boink the most beastly bosoms, etc. in the wildest night of your lives. Do whatever it takes. This may be your only chance.
Make-Out Monsters has taken a variety of forms over it’s lifetime, beginning as early as September 2024. The game is still actively seeking a home from a publisher.
