Facebook games thrive on the simplest gameplay conceits. Most of Zynga's oeuvre amounts to clicking tiles. Text RPGs are simple stat-raising exercises. Action games usually involve repeating a single, often silly, action. A game like Backyard Monsters seems completely anomalous in this environment, offering a blend of grand strategy and monster breeding. You can be attacked by wild monsters or, once you've reached a certain point, other players. You can also attack other players yourself. That's a pretty far cry from Café World.
Backyard Monsters is a Facebook game developed by Casual Collective that is strategy based in which players can construct resource gathering, research, defensive and offensive buildings plus hatch monsters that act as soldiers to defend your base. This quick start guide will provide you with tips to get started playing Backyard Monsters.
