Monsters are always hungry and never go far from a bag full of provisions, in order to be able to prepare a delicious soup in only instants. But that’s if they can quickly find the ingredients listed on their monstrous cookbook! In Monster Soup, each player has to find the right ingredients in his own bag, using only touch! Eye, heart, worm, all the ingredients have a specific shape, that you will have to recognize to follow the recipe! The winner is the one whose soup contains the most slime cubes at the end of the 4th game turn.
