The game you play between games! Rapid Review of Monsters, Magic, and Mayhem! #BoardGames #Review

About Monsters, Magic, & Mayhem, from BoardGameGeek:

In this fast, head-to-head dungeon duel for 2 players, each of you takes on the role of a rival Gamemaster, competing to control a dungeon made up of three mysterious rooms. With hidden treasures and limited resources, every decision counts as you fight to outwit your opponent and claim the richest spoils. Each player starts with a hand of 8 cards drawn from a compact deck of Characters, Monsters, Spells, and Magic Items. Characters are used to attack rooms, Monsters to defend them, and Magic can be added to either side to shift the balance. Every card has a unique effect, creating clever combos and tense tactical choices. Characters and Monsters can never fight side by side, but they can battle their own kind-Characters versus Characters, Monsters versus Monsters. Once all cards and modifiers are resolved, the strongest side wins the room. The room is then flipped to reveal its treasure: it might be completely empty or packed with riches worth up to 6 points. After all three rooms have been claimed, the player with the most treasure points is crowned the ultimate Gamemaster. With 12 different rooms (only 3 used each game) and a deck where only 16 of the 24 cards are dealt and no cards are drawn during play, every match feels fresh and unpredictable. Quick to learn and lightning fast to play, this is the perfect filler game, warm-up, or tactical showdown while another game is being set up-or when someone briefly leaves the table. -description from the publisher
