SBD is supposed to peg to the US dollar. It isn't perfect but it does seem to get around to pegging eventually. After rising to about $10 last year it ended up back at $1. After dropping to 50 cents a month or two ago it has ended up back close to a dollar (94 cents currently, was recently as high as 98 cents).

STEEM is not pegged to anything. It is worth what it is worth like any other crypto (i.e. more when there are a lot of buyers and less when there are a lot of sellers).

You should not expect there to be any particular relationship between SBD and STEEM.

Does SBD look the failed attempt to create the stable coin then?

Anyways, Is it advisable to invest $10 in steemmonster. I see it is getting marketed by 2 of the "steem witnesses" there so I am wondering whether it is really a good game or it is just a hype or too much promotion in steemit.

PS: I have 99% willing to try it, may be I buy the pack next week.

It's a stable game with a positive ROI, it can be as slow as earning 0.02 cards at a time (vampires and sea genies)
Or you could get the $10 back in a daily quest with a good gold foil card.
(Ruler of the Seas, Sacred Unicorn, Lord Arianthus)

If you do throw a few hundred bucks in you can compose a tournament worthy deck though and that will speed it up a lot.

At the end of the day you do get your investment back just from the daily quests, you just trade off some time playing the game which you wanted to test anyways :p
And if you do get bored you can liquidate your deck on the marketplace, best part of Blockchain games is that the cards still hold value, unlike Hearthstone or Pokemon cards, its easier to get rid of them once your done playing.

Anyways give it a shot.

Kinda lost the grip on steemmonster, is there any good market for beta card trading?
