The Game of the Month for September 2006 is Monster in the Cabbages (
http://www.invisible-city.com/play/402 ). Monster in the Cabbages is a
quick-playing dice game for two to five cabbage harvesters. Your goal
is to harvest as many cabbages as you can. However. there's a Monster
in the cabbage field that needs to be fed. If everyone ignores the
Monster, it'll get so hungry that it'll eat everyone (Everyone loses
the game if this happens.). That means that you have to balance your
need to harvest cabbages with the threat of letting the Monster in the
Cabbages eat everyone.

Monster in the Cabbages uses about 8 six-sided dice, a cup, and pencil
and paper. A four-player game takes about 25 minutes to play. Monster
in the Cabbages is appropriate for ages 10 and older.

You'll find the rules for Monster in the Cabbages at:
