Gameplay itself is similar to many other RPGs including Dragon Quest .
Players begin by choosing one of four characters, and must first purchase equipment for their character.
You can recruit additional party members at the inn.
Upon travelling to a destination, the player controls a top-down perspective where they "flip over" facedown cards representing the unexplored sections of that area.
Occasionally monsters will be shown on the map and encountering them opens up a first person RPG battle menu.
Defeating them will earn gold and experience points.
There is a limit of 3 monster cards on the screen at any one time, however encounters can include more monsters who will take the place of a defeated monster.
About Nintendo Entertainment System
The Nintendo Entertainment System (1983 in Japan, 1985 in the West) revived the North American video game industry after the 1983 crash and established conventions — cartridges, licensing seals, save systems — that shaped the industry for decades. NES collecting is one of the most established retro markets: common titles remain cheap, but a well-known handful of low-print-run games (many from smaller third-party publishers) are among the most expensive video games in existence.
Gamevaro tracks Monster Maker: 7-tsu no Hihou for Nintendo Entertainment System with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.

Only a handful of market sales have been tracked for Monster Maker: 7-tsu no Hihou, suggesting it doesn't trade hands very often — a sign of relative scarcity compared to more common Nintendo Entertainment System titles.
Complete-in-box (CIB) copies typically command a premium over loose cartridges/discs because the original box and manual are more fragile and get discarded or damaged over time — fewer complete sets survive.
