MONSTRA: Build Your Team. Unleash the Battle.

Build your team. Make every energy count.

MONSTRA is a physical creature card game from InfinitX in Slovenia. Build a team of twelve creatures and twelve tactics. Two creatures fight at a time and share one energy pool: protect a partner, save for a stronger move, or press for a knockout. Win a duel on the third opposing knockout, or challenge the Rift Guardian in a solo/co-op mission. Tabletop play uses cards and counters and needs no phone. You can try a one-creature browser prototype today. The physical cards are still being made; campaign visuals show digital designs and prototype footage, not finished printed products.

V01 / E01 — exclusively in this Kickstarter

This is your opportunity to get MONSTRA’s first card edition. All physical cards offered in this campaign’s complete games and card add-ons belong to V01 / E01. We will not release or offer this card edition for sale again after the campaign, including on our website or in later retail releases. Future MONSTRA card releases will be Version 2, not V01 / E01.

Standard and Gold packs have no fixed quantity cap. Greenfire Duo is limited to 500 sets across this entire campaign, including sets in Founder Collection rewards. Backers, including participating retailers, may resell their physical copies.

€40,000 funding goal, 30-day campaign and planned dispatch no later than April 2027. Product specifications, costs and legal details are being finalized before production and fulfillment.

The planned first edition: 50 creatures, 50 tactics, two bosses

MONSTRA V01 / E01 is planned to include fifty distinct creature designs and fifty distinct tactic designs, plus the Rift Guardian and a second special main boss. The current illustrated catalogue has thirty creatures and twenty-five tactics; twenty additional creatures, twenty-five additional tactics and the second boss are in development. These are catalogue totals for the edition, not the number of cards in every box or pack. Each reward lists its own contents.

Try MONSTRA on your phone

Play the free phone demo — no app or account needed. Tap “Sample card” to choose Flaro, Neru or Umbrael, or “Turn on camera” to scan. Try a basic attack, a signature move or “Guard” (+3 shield); the Rift Guardian responds.

Download sample cards: Flaro · Neru · Umbrael. Print one or show it on another screen to scan.

This one-creature prototype omits tactics and reserves. In scan mode the camera stays on, and the 30-second session starts after loading. Tap “Scan again” and scan the same card to continue. Sample-card mode needs no camera and has no time limit.

Choose and scan your creature

Open the demo first and tap “Turn on camera”. Point it at one large black-and-white QR code below. Each code matches the original creature card above it.

Explore the creature arena

Open the free creature arena: trigger abilities of all thirty creatures and the Rift Guardian, then reset. No cards or camera needed. This showcase has no missions or tabletop turn order.

From a physical card to your collection

Public QR codes open profiles: creatures use individual eighteen-digit copy IDs; tactics and bosses share design codes. A public QR or card photograph is not proof of ownership.

Planned registration uses separate private activation information to associate a creature copy with a player account; transfers are intended through verified sales between players. Registration, recovery, disputes and transfers are in development. Scanning a public QR does not claim a card.

What your pledge includes: physical rewards provide the listed printed components and offline tabletop play. An individual ID identifies a creature copy. Full online battles and account-based card registration are planned, but physical card purchases do not currently specify a permanent full-game licence, guaranteed access to every digital mode or lifetime server access. We will publish final digital entitlements, any fees, supported devices and service arrangements before those services are provided. The €10 closed-test invitation is a separate, defined reward.

Your first tabletop battle

Build your team, reveal two creatures and share energy between their moves and your tactics.

Two-player duels · four players in two teams · 1–2-player Guardian missions. Read playtest rules v1.19 · Browse the collection. Physical tests will establish final balance, age and playing time.

Support MONSTRA — digital Kickstarter poster

SUPPORT MONSTRA — €5: help fund development and receive a Kickstarter Edition PDF poster featuring the full MONSTRA team’s signatures and a thank-you message. This edition will not be sold by us after this campaign. Sent by email after a successfully funded campaign, no later than April 2027. The same PDF is also included with Early Online Gameplay, every complete physical game and the Founder Collection.

The €5 reward is digital only: no printed poster, physical cards or shipping charge. Final poster artwork and signatures will be prepared before digital delivery.

Be among the first 500 online playtesters

EARLY ONLINE GAMEPLAY — €10 · 500 TESTERS TOTAL: be among the first invited to test MONSTRA’s upcoming online game before public release. When a playable closed-test build is ready, we will email your invitation so you can play and share feedback. Includes the Kickstarter Edition PDF poster.

Select the digital reward on its own or the eligible tester add-on alongside a physical reward. One tester seat per backer, from one shared pool of 500 places across all reward and add-on routes; it is not 500 places for each route. Repeated purchases do not grant extra seats. This future online gameplay test is separate from today’s free public browser demo.

Digital-only, with no physical cards or shipping charge. April 2027 is a provisional invitation estimate, not a public game-release date; we will update backers if development changes the schedule. We will specify test features, supported devices, test duration and participation details before sending invitations. This reward covers closed-playtest participation, not a permanent full-game licence or lifetime service access.

Inside the complete games

RIFT GUARDIAN STARTER — €59: solo/co-op for 1–2 players. Twelve creatures, twelve tactics and fourteen boss-pack cards: thirty-eight cards, mission mat, counters, rules and reference. The boss pack has two difficulty versions of one boss plus twelve behaviors; use one boss version per mission.

DUEL BOX — €79: two-player duels or four players in two teams. Twenty-four creatures and twenty-four tactics: forty-eight cards, duel mat, counters, rules and quick reference. Two legal twelve-plus-twelve team sets have different designs within each team; opposing teams may share designs. No booster purchase needed.

DUEL + RIFT GUARDIAN — €99 · FEATURED: Duel Box plus the fourteen-card Rift Guardian pack and mission components: sixty-two cards with both mats. This combines both tabletop modes; it does not contain all fifty creature and fifty tactic designs or the separate Mystery Boss expansion.

Base counters cover HP, energy, Shield, knockouts, rounds, first-team priority, conditions and once-per-battle effects. Required plastic gameplay counters are included; metal counters are an optional upgrade. All three games include the signed-team PDF poster. Fixed shipping for complete games is €16 to Slovenia and listed European destinations or €29 elsewhere, shown at checkout.

A battle built around meaningful choices

Start with two separately shuffled decks per team: twelve different creatures and twelve different tactics. Reveal two creatures; ten remain in reserve. Draw three tactics and start at zero energy; the first refresh gives two.

Each round: gain two shared energy, up to five, carrying unspent energy forward. From round two, draw one tactic, up to five in hand. Set Speed order at round start. Ties favor the first-team marker; pass it at round end.

Before its own creature acts, a team may play one tactic per round without consuming the creature’s action. Then use a free basic move, pay the printed signature cost, or take a free Guard to give a living ally three Shield. Shield absorbs ordinary damage before HP, persists between rounds and is capped at six per creature.

Replace a defeated creature immediately from shuffled reserve: it can be targeted now but first acts next round. A team loses on its third knockout. At round twelve, fewer recorded knockouts wins; if tied, compare combined current HP of active creatures. Equal totals draw. These v1.19 playtest rules still need physical balance and timing tests.

Read a creature card

A creature shows its sign, EVO, Speed, maximum HP, moves and signature cost. Signs add no automatic weakness, resistance or team bonus. EVO 1 has no extra starter-game effect.

A team may include only one total from Fenara (Founder), Aurelith, Vharax, Umbrael and Veloryn. Holographic finish is a print treatment; abilities and limits come from the card design.

See one tactical decision

These plans are alternatives from the same state. Burn removes one HP after the affected creature’s next action, not as immediate attack damage.

Face the Rift Guardian

Shuffle all twelve behavior cards and reveal one each round. The Guardian acts once at Speed 2; player creatures win Speed ties against it. One player controls both active slots, or two players share the team and control one slot each.

Standard starts at 44 HP: defeat it, or seal it by ending round twelve with it at eight HP or less. Expert starts at 48 HP and must be defeated by round twelve. Both require a surviving player creature and fewer than three player knockouts.

A second boss awaits

GUARDIAN MISSION UPGRADE — €20: for Duel Box owners who want to add the existing Rift Guardian mission game. Includes its fourteen-card boss pack, mission mat, the required plastic gameplay counters and mission reference. Duel Box plus this upgrade gives the same tabletop modes as the €99 combined game. You can then add Mystery Boss. No extra booster is needed.

MYSTERY BOSS — SOLO EXPANSION · €40: a second special main-boss encounter, offered as a separate optional expansion alongside the Rift Guardian. Its name and artwork remain a surprise during this campaign. Every expansion contains the same planned boss encounter; this is not a random rare-card draw.

Requires Rift Guardian Starter, Duel + Rift Guardian, or Duel Box with the separate Guardian Mission Upgrade. Designed for solo or two-player cooperative missions. This is not a standalone game. The Mystery Boss expansion matches the Rift Guardian pack at fourteen cards: two difficulty versions of the second boss and twelve behavior cards. The boss identity and illustration remain a surprise, but its fourteen-card format is stated before pledge. We will publish mission rules and final compatibility before producing the expansion. Included in Founder Collection. Planned dispatch no later than April 2027; this add-on ships with your selected physical reward at no extra listed shipping charge.

Build your Kickstarter-exclusive V01 / E01 collection

STANDARD BOOSTER — €15: ten cards: five creatures and five tactics from MONSTRA V01 / E01. Expand your collection and deck-building choices; a complete game is required to play.

GOLD BOOSTER — €25: ten cards: five creatures and five tactics. Exactly one of the five creature cards is holographic, randomly selected from a pool of five designs. It is included within the five creature cards; it is not an eleventh card. Multiple packs may contain the same holographic design, and five packs do not guarantee the complete set.

These boosters contain the campaign-exclusive V01 / E01 edition described above. Repeated designs between packs are possible. The five holographic designs, collation details and a physical print sample still need confirmation before production.

GREENFIRE DUO — €29 · LIMITED EDITION · 500 DUO SETS TOTAL: both Flaro and Umbrael Kickstarter art variants, with emerald tail-fire accents and unchanged gameplay values. You receive both cards, not a random selection. The 500-set total includes every Duo sold as an add-on or included in Founder Collection; it is one shared edition cap. These exact Greenfire variants will never be reprinted or offered for sale by us again after this Kickstarter, including on our website or through retail. Backer resale is permitted. Illustration: concept art; final print finish and replacement handling within the cap remain to be confirmed.

The planned first-edition catalogue spans Fire, Earth, Water, Air and Mythic. Catalogue totals are different from card-copy counts in a box or display; the 100-card base collection in Founder Collection is the guaranteed fifty-creature/fifty-tactic offer. Browse the current illustrated designs at www.monstra.si. A creature’s individual copy ID identifies the physical copy; the V01 / E01 mark identifies its edition.

20-PACK STANDARD DISPLAY — €210: twenty sealed Standard Boosters, ten cards each: 200 physical cards, comprising 100 creature copies and 100 tactic copies. €10.50 per pack, a 30% saving against twenty individual €15 Standard Boosters (€300). Duplicates are possible; this is not a guaranteed complete catalogue. No Gold packs or guaranteed holographic cards. This is a quantity bundle; retailer wholesale terms and a separate retailer cost calculation are still to be prepared.

20-PACK GOLD DISPLAY — €350: twenty sealed Gold Boosters, ten cards each: 200 physical cards (100 creature copies and 100 tactic copies). Each pack contains exactly one randomly selected holographic creature among its five creature cards: 20 holographic card copies in the display. Designs may repeat, so the complete five-design holo set is not guaranteed. €17.50 per pack, a 30% saving against twenty individual €25 Gold Boosters (€500). This is a quantity bundle, not a guaranteed complete catalogue or a separate retailer wholesale agreement.

METAL ARENA TOKENS — €29: a complete cast-metal replacement for all plastic gameplay counters needed in MONSTRA, also included in Founder Collection. Every complete base game already includes the required plastic set, so this upgrade is optional. The metal set will cover every counter role used by the final rules; exact per-type quantities, alloy, dimensions, finish and packed weight will be confirmed before production. Illustrations are concepts.

Founder Collection — the complete planned first edition

FOUNDER COLLECTION — €799: for collectors who want the complete planned V01 / E01 base catalogue without relying on random booster pulls. Includes one card for each of fifty distinct creatures and fifty distinct tactics: 100 different base designs, with no duplicates within that base set.

• The existing fourteen-card Rift Guardian pack: two difficulty versions of one boss and twelve behavior cards.
• The fourteen-card Mystery Boss expansion: two difficulty versions of the second boss and twelve behavior cards. Its identity remains concealed; mission details are being developed.
• All five holographic creature designs as a guaranteed set, not five random Gold packs. These are additional print variants, separate from the 100 base designs.
• Both Greenfire cards: Flaro and Umbrael. This included Duo counts within the same campaign-wide maximum of 500 Duo sets.
• Both tabletop mats, required plastic gameplay counters, rules/reference and the optional metal token upgrade.
• A numbered collector box and certificate, a signed physical team thank-you and the Kickstarter Edition PDF poster.

The promised collection contains 135 physical cards in total: 100 different base designs, fourteen Rift Guardian cards, fourteen Mystery Boss cards, five additional holographic variants and two Greenfire cards. The remaining twenty creature designs, twenty-five tactics and second boss are in development. Exact deck checklists, foil/variant finish, metal specifications, box construction, allocation and manufacturing costs must be confirmed before production. The collector-box number is not an individual printed creature-card number. This reward is a premium physical collection, not an investment or a lifetime online-service licence. Worldwide shipping for this €799 Founder reward is included at no extra charge.

What exists, and what comes next

Available now: the illustrated thirty-creature/twenty-five-tactic playtest collection, Rift Guardian prototype, v1.19 rules, one-creature browser duel, profiles and ability showcase. The planned first edition expands the catalogue to fifty distinct creatures and fifty distinct tactics and adds a second special main boss; the additional designs and Mystery Boss expansion remain in development. Full digital matches, the mobile app, accounts, registration and transfers remain in development; app-store downloads are unavailable. Tabletop play needs no account or server.

What your support will make possible

Our funding goal is €40,000, with a 30-day campaign. Funding will turn the designs and playtest system into a checked and delivered first edition: component preparation, proofs, printing, packaging, quality control and fulfilment preparation. A cost breakdown and the digital work expressly included in the funded scope remain to be finalized; the funding goal does not by itself confirm that full digital services are ready.

A printer arrangement and production pricing are agreed. Core tabletop play will not depend on stretch goals. Optional upgrades require understood costs and production effects. Proofs, per-copy ID pairing and packing checks remain part of production preparation.

Artwork, prototypes and AI transparency

Generative AI has assisted portions of MONSTRA artwork, concept and promotional imagery, and campaign drafting. InfinitX directs, selects and edits the work and develops the game rules and layouts. Graphics use actual card files alongside identified concepts. Product concepts and AI-generated lifestyle scenes illustrate the intended experience; they are not evidence of finished manufactured rewards. The playable browser prototype is presented separately. Final asset rights, tools, affected elements and contributors remain under review.
