A drinking-style game that parodies the Pokemon CCG. Each player starts with one monster in play and 4 more in hand. On your turn, you take 2 actions -- attack or play a new monster. The attacks have humorous flavor text but mechanically just do a fixed amount of damage. Better attacks can only be used after you have 'powered up' a certain number of times -- you power up once each turn by doing some out-of-game task agreed upon ahead of time (e.g. drinking or smoking). The last player with creatures still in play wins.
Description from the designer:
The trading card game that's a little bit hazy.
Smoke 'em Mon is a multiplayer battle game where the objective is to kill all your friends smokies (monsters) and become the Grand Champion Master Sensei. To "Power Up" each player is subjected to smoking, drinking or whatever other tempting tortures your friends can dream up.
Smoke 'em Mon the trading card game features the first 101 smokies known to man and can be played with 2 to 99 players. Thanks to the special "Anything Goes" game rule battles can go in any direction at any time!
