General Mills recently expanded beyond the breakfast cereal aisle with a brand new Count Chocula card game for kids (or any nostalgic adult). Designed to bring the chocolate-loving vampire to life, the new card game is a fun take on one of the most popular breakfast cereals the 90s.
General Mills' new Count Chocula card game is a multi-player game called 'Monster Crunch! The Breakfast Battle Game.' The game allows two to five players to pick a Monster Cereal character and 'battle' to see who can eat the most. The maker of the game 'Big G. Creative' calls the mini battles a "fast-paced game of luck and strategy" where each player tries to fill their bowl with as many cereal cards as possible.
Available exclusively from Target, the card game is a fun way to revisit some of the most iconic breakfast cereal characters.
