Boss Monster is a retro-inspired card game that’s been around for more than a decade. It received a game-changing update this April with the release of Super Boss Monster, which introduces a new mode designed for solo play. Featuring SNES-style artwork, an arsenal of unique cards, and heaps of replayability, it looks like an excellent starting point for newcomers while also giving veterans plenty of new content to enjoy. It also works with all previous Boss Monster sets, though it’s perfectly fine to play the game on its own with no prior experience.
$40
Super Boss Monster is the next iteration of the Boss Monser card game, which tasks 1-4 players with building a dungeon, enticing adventurers inside, and then defeating them with a litany of traps and monsters lurking within.
This new version features SNES-style artwork (a big change from the NES-inspired artwork of the original), and an all-new Solo Mode that’s perfect if none of your board-game buddies can make it to game night. Veteran players, meanwhile, can play the new Challenge Mode, which ramps up the difficulty. Super Boss Monster is also fully compatible with all existing Boss Monster base games and expansions.
Looking to check out the original Boss Monster game? A few different versions are available. Boss Monster: 10th Anniversary Edition gets you the classic card game plus 15 new cards, making it the most up-to-date way to enjoy the original version of the game.
Boss Monster 2: The Next Level Card Game follows up on the original and features an all-new 160 card deck. Best of all, it can be played on its own or combined with the original Boss Monster for a massive campaign.
Then there’s Boss Monster: Rise of the Mini-Bosses, which offers a slightly different take on the game. The 160-card deck is both an expansion and standalone game, introducing promotable mini-bosses that modify how rooms in your dungeon behave and grant the player additional perks. It’s currently the cheapest of the trio at $20.70, so give it a look if you’re shopping on a budget.
There’s also an abundance of expansions available for Boss Monster. Some of these are designed for specific base games, while others can be used across the board. Regardless of which you choose, they’ve all earned high marks from players and are bound to bring added replayability to your sessions.
