The game protects you from attacks by other players for the first couple of weeks of play, giving you time to build up your yard and its defenses, but wild monsters can attack at any time.

The game offers you a variety of shooting towers, as well as blocks and traps that can be constructed to funnel attacking monsters down a specific path, so they can be taken out before they do any damage to your buildings. This is where the tower defense gameplay comes in. Besides attacking, defense is also very important, as computer-controlled "wild monsters" as well as other players can attack you. You use a building called the map room to scope out players you want to attack, then decide how many units of your monster army you want to "fling" into battle. Once you've got the necessary buildings in place, you can begin creating your very own monster army that can be used to attack other players' yards. There's also a list of quests that will help guide you in what to do next.

Every structure in the game requires one or more of four resources: twigs, pebbles, putty, or goo and takes a certain amount of time to build.

How to Play Like the majority of Facebook games, Backyard Monsters walks you through the basics of setting up your yard, including building a town hall, resource gathering structures, defensive towers, and hiring workers. The tower defense element isn't surprising as the Casual Collective also made the Desktop Tower Defense Facebook game. What Is It? Backyard Monsters is a combination of city-building and desktop tower defense, where players have a "yard" in which to build contraptions and raise monsters to attack other players' yards.
