In King of Tokyo, you play mutant monsters, gigantic robots, and strange aliens – all of whom are destroying Tokyo and whacking each other in order to become the one and only King of Tokyo.
At the start of each turn, you roll six dice. The dice show the following six symbols: 1, 2 or 3 Victory Points, Energy, Heal and Attack. Over three successive throws, choose whether to keep or discard each die in order to win victory points, gain energy, restore health, or attack other players into understanding that Tokyo is YOUR territory.
The fiercest player will occupy Tokyo, and earn extra victory points, but that player can't heal and must face all the other monsters alone!
Top this off with special cards purchased with energy that have a permanent or temporary effect, such as the growing of a second head which grants you an additional die, body armor, nova death ray, and more.... and it's one of the most explosive games of the year!
In order to win the game, one must either destroy Tokyo by accumulating 20 victory points, or be the only surviving monster once the fighting has ended.
This game has a fun look, it is easy to teach and the turns go quickly. I played it with my 3 nieces two at 9 and one a 5. They all enjoyed it.
King of Tokyo (New Edition)
Fun dice rolling game where you attack other monsters. The monsters aren’t creepy or gory but fun for kids.
The gameplay moves fast and you’re always paying attention in case you get attacked.
Fun for the family!
King of Tokyo is tight boardgame. It plays fast, it can be taught in minutes, and it has a very inviting theme. This is a great game for kids and adults. It definitely answers the question of: what would happen if Yahtzee took steroids and grew a tail? The art in the new edition is also a lot of fun. (If you can snag the new Dark Edition, the art is even better.) The only draw back to the game is that there is player elimination, but the games are short so it's not a dealbreaker. It would just have been nice if the designer still gave eliminated players a role so they could stay invested the rest of the game.
This is the game that got me into the hobby and it's still fun to this day!
