Hopefully this was worth the wait. We have some prototype rules for ura-monsters on the wiki now.

In short, ura-monsters are flipped cards, where the image on the back of the cards forms a larger, more powerful monster.

It’s a nifty trick, and something we’ve seen in other games too. Or heard about, at least.

We’ve avoided this until now only because it tends to ramp up the game stakes, boosting battles between 12- and 14-point monsters to sudden death matches between 28-point dreadnoughts.

It’s probably safe to say that those rules will be streamlined as time goes on. TNT and KBD talked about these things in the past, but this is one of those things that needs to be used a lot, to see how it behaves.

A lot.

Give it a try and tell us what you think. It’s listed as an optional rule and unlikely to ever shift into the main game, but that doesn’t mean it’s not worth trying out.
