King of Tokyo
In King of Tokyo, you play mutant
monsters, gigantic robots, and other aliens – all of whom are happily
whacking each other in a joyous atmosphere 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 Points of Destruction, Energy, Healing and Whack.
Over three successive throws,
choose whether to keep or discard
each die in order to win destruction
points, hoard energy, restore health,
or whack other players into understanding that Tokyo is YOUR territory.
The fiercest player will be crowned
King of Tokyo... and will end up facing
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 destruction points, or be the
only surviving monster once the
fighting has ended.
