I like the idea of lighter versions of popular games.  As someone who likes to play deeper games but have family that like lighter games, it might be nice to gauge their interest and possibly ramp them into the heavier versions.  Great idea.

Eagerly awaiting my DL!

Does the black version of KOT add anything new, or is it just a recolour?

I love KoT! Also I like the idea for lighter games with the feel of longer, popular games. I have young children and limited time/opportunity to play lengthy games.

When this one arrived in the mail for me my wife said "This is so cute! I wonder if there is a way to use this art in my childrens lesson on Sunday. It's captivating!". Well done CGI crew!

I've been struggling to be engaged with King of Tokyo on boardgamearena. Playing it turn based doesn't feel immersive. you just end up winning randomly at some point
