Description

Welcome to the world of Ick! where you're only as good as you are gross. In this fast-paced game, players collect a colorful assortment of monster cards and place their monster's favorite gross stuff (from toxic slime to gooey eyeballs and severed limbs) into a monster's dream house—a mildew-infested shack. King Stink cards can steal a player's loot of monsters and gross stuff, allowing for plenty of quick, silly play. When the cards run out, tally up the points—whoever collects the most gross stuff wins!

In Ick: The Game, players get a hand full of cards, set down a house card (if they have one) put crap in it (adding as many objects as they can), and cap it off with the monster that belongs with the last object placed.

For example, player A has six cards on his turn--A house, a band-aid, fish bones, rotten veggies, maggots, and the monster known as Slimon. He lays down the house card, followed by all of the item cards he has except the maggots. He can either end his turn or place the maggot card and the Slimon monster card to prevent other players from claiming that stack with their monster (except it's still not safe from the one monster that can take over any house). Players earn points based on the objects in the claimed house; the first player to 100 points wins the game.
