Monster in the Cabbages is a dice game for two to five players. Monster in the Cabbages uses about 8 six-sided dice, a cup, and pencil and paper. A four-player game takes about 25 minutes to play. Monster in the Cabbages is appropriate for ages 10 and older.

Your goal is to harvest as many cabbages as you can. However. there’s a Monster in the cabbage field that needs to be fed. If everyone ignores the Monster, it’ll get so hungry that it’ll eat everyone (Everyone loses the game if this happens.). That means that you have to balance your need to harvest cabbages with the threat of letting the Monster in the Cabbages eat everyone.

On your turn you can Harvest Cabbages or Feed the Monster.

If you choose to Harvest Cabbages, roll two dice and add them to your score (under Cabbages).

If you choose to Feed the Monster remove a die from the Monster Cup, mark a Feeding on your paper, then roll the dice in the Monster Cup (see below for the possible ramifications of this).

If the Monster Cup is between you and the next player at the end of your turn, it gets to take a turn. On the Monster Cup’s turn, add a die to it, then roll the dice in the Monster Cup. When the Monster Cup’s turn is over, move it to your right.

When you roll the Monster Dice: If the Monster Dice total 25 or greater, or if the Monster Dice show three or more identical results (triples or better), the game ends.

If the game ended because the Monster Dice roll was 25 or greater, the Monster in the Cabbages got too hungry and ate all of you (the game wins and all of the players lose).

If the game ended because the Monster Dice rolled triples, cross reference the triples rolled with the following table to determine the winner:

1 or 2: The player with the most cabbages wins. Ties go to the player with the least number of feedings removed.
3 or 4: The player who did the most feedings wins. Ties go to the player with the least cabbages.
5 or 6: Multiply your cabbages by your number of feedings. If your result is the biggest, you win. Ties are shared victories.
