Pre-Game Preparation/Monster Camp

"TBA" 
- Explanation for the bus
The Camp Spooky Bus is an in-game mechanic in Monster Camp that determines players' beginning stats and the love interest(s) they will pursue.
This pre-game preparation phase is comprised of two phases: packing and ice-breakers.
== Packing ==
Players choose the stats they begin a game with by packing various items for their time at Camp Spooky. Each item will add 3 points to the players stats. Most items are broken up to have a primary and secondary stat, the primary stat with the larger icon when selecting adds 2 points to that stat while the secondary stat adds 1 point. If an item has no secondary stat all three points go towards that one stat.
Players have the option to have the items they pack randomly selected.
