Little Inner Monsters

Little Inner Monsters is a card game about feelings and how they mix. Its 36 cards each represent a different little inner monster, with six auxiliary feelings—Joy, Anger, Will, Disgust, Altruism and Fear—whose values show their affinity with the main feeling. The aim is to collect all the cards before your opponent runs out of cards to play.

Sets and arenas

Each Set begins with three cards open for each player. The cards face off one at a time, comparing the value of a chosen auxiliary feeling. The higher value wins the Round, and whoever wins the best of three Rounds takes all six cards in the Set.

The game has six Arenas, each representing an environment people live in: Happy, Sad, Tumultuous, Calm, Dark and Heavenly. An environment can affect the little monsters for better or worse, and each monster has an Arena that strengthens it. On your turn, choose an Arena to suit your strategy. Each Arena also has its own background music.

Rock-Paper-Scissors (Jo-ken-po) determines who starts the match by choosing the Arena and auxiliary feeling for the first Set.
