Where it came from
Push a Monster is a tactical board game released in 2014 by the German publisher Queen Games. Designed by Wolfgang Kramer and Michael Kiesling, two of the most celebrated figures in modern tabletop design, the game was conceived as a lighthearted dexterity challenge suitable for both families and casual gamers. It emerged during a period when the hobbyist market was increasingly embracing tactile, physical play elements to distinguish itself from traditional card and board games.
The game is distinguished by its unique vertical play area and the use of colorful, oddly shaped monster figures made of wood. The objective is to push these creatures onto a small, elevated platform without causing them to topple off. The design emphasizes physical intuition and steady hands, moving away from the complex strategy typical of the designers' other works in favor of immediate, visceral play. Upon release, it was well-received for its whimsical aesthetic and simple, accessible ruleset.
