Overview
Challenges are additional rulesets that add to the core gameplay experience of Monster World.
There are currently 5 challenges in Monster World as of the pre-release version 1.0.9. These are:
| Overflow | Every time you add an Ability to your Deck, add in 2 additional copies. | This challenge gives the player the same effect as 2 Dark Chalices. |
|---|---|---|
| The Collector | Start with a Deck that contains one copy of every Ability in the game. | This gives the player one of each Ability their character can use. |
| Infinite Knowledge | Start with the item "Illuminating Pyramid". At the start of your turn, add 10 random Abilities to the bottom of your Draw Pile. | The Illuminating Pyramid allows the player to see the drawing order of the Abilities in their Draw Pile |
| Curse of the Drawer | Whenever you attack an enemy, draw 2 abilities. Overdrawing an ability banishes it. (Maximum hand size is 7.) | This gives the player Greed and every enemy the Drawer's Deceit. |
| Hardcore | Start the run with 5 maximum HP. Difficult and unfair. | The dreaded Hardcore Mode is the ultimate test of a Monster World player's skill. |
Each challenge affects the overall strategy of a run in a different way.
