King of Tokyo is a chaotic dice-rolling board game for 2-6 players where you play as giant monsters battling it out to become the King of Tokyo!

Goal

• Be the first player to reach 20 victory points (VP) or be the last monster standing.

Gameplay

• Each turn, you roll 6 custom dice showing victory points, energy, heal, and attack symbols.
• Choose which dice to keep and re-roll the others up to 2 times, trying to maximize your gains in VP, energy (for buying special powers), healing, or attacking other players.
• Occupying Tokyo grants bonus VP but makes you the target of all other players.
• Use your energy to buy cards with permanent or temporary effects that boost your abilities.
• Eliminate other players to gain VP and clear the path to victory.

Key aspects

• Fast-paced and luck-driven, with some strategic elements through dice manipulation and card acquisition.
• High player interaction through attacking and vying for control of Tokyo.
• Replayable with different monster abilities and a variety of card combinations.

Overall

King of Tokyo is a light and entertaining game perfect for casual game nights with friends and family. It's easy to learn but offers enough depth to keep things interesting, making it a popular choice for players of all experience levels.

There are multiple ways to win: be aggressive by eliminating your opponents, or be defensive by stayling alive and building up your VP. It is possible to be eliminated quickly in this game. It supports up to 6 players, but is best with 4 to avoid downtime between turns and added complexity with Tokyo Bay.

All-in-all, King of Tokyo remains one of our favorite games!
