There are 4 basic Realms to play in (like suits in a card deck) and the Chaos Realm which really screws with the game. All you have to do is be the first player to get rid of all your Monster Rejects to win the game. JOKING HAZARD Monster Rejects Trivia and Stuff It’s about monsters - well sort of.
