Monster Capture Race - How to play!

About Monster Capture Race, from BoardGameGeek:

Travel around monster island capturing monsters and powering them up while playing as 1 of the 11 unique characters. Each character has two special skill cards and a main ability that helps them gain advantages. Be careful as some characters move in the opposite direction. Lastly, do not become too powerful, otherwise the dragon will come for you. Not only making you take huge amounts of damage but also destroying all the equipment you have gained! The game is won through being the first player to collect 15 victory points or by being the last player standing. Players move around the board capturing monsters for victory points equivalent to that monsters power level. Players will also achieve victory points when one of their monsters deals damage to an opposing player that fails to defend themselves also equal to their monsters level. Can you withstand the intensity of the obstacles ahead? Recommended: 4-8 players for the best experience. -description from the designer
