King of Tokyo 2016 Edition

by Richard Garfield

On the 5th anniversary of the release of the best-seller by Richard Garfield, King of Tokyo gets a face lift with a new version.

This new version includes new illustrations, a new rule book that was reworked to be clearer, as well as two new monsters: the ever-so-popular Space Penguin (the original version, highly sought-after by players, was only available through tournaments) and Cyber Kitty.

 

Hail to the King

Play mutant monsters, gigantic robots and other monstrous creatures, rampaging the city and vying for position as the one and only King of Tokyo!

Combine your dice to gather energy, heal your monster or just slap the other monsters down! Spend your energy to trigger permanent or one-shot special powers.

Stop at nothing to become the King of Tokyo... but that's when the real trouble begins for you!

 

Updated Artwork

The art team lead by Régis Torres, who previously illustrated the Halloween expansion pack and King of New York return, with updated artwork throughout.

The changes are purely aesthetic changes: the rules of the game and Power cards remain unchanged.

 

Gameplay

At the start of each turn, you roll six dice, which 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 armour, nova death ray, and more....

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.
