    Sequel game: Meh.My kids loved King of Tokyo. We got this as a Christmas present for them. I played along with them. In creating a sequel game the makers forgot one crucial element: Is the game fun?No, compared to King of Tokyo this game is not fun, at all. It's over thought, and unnecessarily overcomplicated. They could have just added new monsters and cards and kept the game mechanics the same. Shoot, it's worked for the Ticket to Ride series. Anyways, we played it twice, and it got pushed back on the shelf never to see the light of day again. 1great game - especially if you liked King of Tokyo!There are a few great additions to the KoT gameplay that make KoNY a worthy purchase. In addition, if you are new to the King series, New York is a better place to start. It gives you the ability to play KoT (with a tiny bit of ingenuity) or move up to the full rules.I was introducing my kids to the game and taught them the KoT rules so they could grasp the gameplay easier and then added the KoNY rules.Now as for the game - this game is a game I can play with my kids, my wife, or my buddies. It's easy to introduce to new gamers and has enough depth for experienced gamers to stay interested. It is a great game full of fun and surprises. 5I always hated that the die dedicated 3 sides to gaining victory ...My friends and I much prefer this to the original King of Tokyo board game. Especially with the evolutions added to King of Tokyo, the game was very quick and all about gaining victory points. Additionally, I always hated that the die dedicated 3 sides to gaining victory points. It felt... lazy. In this game, only one side is dedicated to victory points and a new mechanic involving building destruction has been added. It gives me much more interactivity with my opponents because of another new mechanic that damages opponents with units (broken buildings) in their borough. Boroughs are yet another new mechanic to give players not in Manhattan (the new Tokyo) somewhere to be and something to do other than rack up Victory Points or attack the person in Tokyo. I think the items are also more fairly priced in this game. No one really bought items in King of Tokyo. Huge fan of this game, and every expansion they've added has made it even better. 5I really like this new iteration to the seriesI really like this new iteration to the series. Granted dice rolling games are usually not my favorite, as I like games more like Power Grid/Caverna/ Le Havre/Samurai , this game is still quite good. One of the better dice rollers. I also like King of Tokyo, but now, even that seems a bit to simple for me. Still probably a better game to introduce new gamers to, then follow up with King of New York. I like that in King of New York there's a bit more intricacy allowing a little more strategy than King of Tokyo. Still - both great games for casual play.Like I said, not my favorite genre of games, but this game is usually well received and I can actually get people to play it. Games like Power Grid and other mention earlier take a lot of time an thinking, which most of my friends usually don't want to do. 5King of New York is a great game for casual gamers who want something fun and ...I always describe this to people as "the video game Rampage, with Yahtzee rules" -. A group of giant monsters are fighting throughout the five boroughs of New York for supremacy. You roll (and re-roll) dice, and the outcome of those dice determines what happens during your round. Maybe you stomped a tank. Maybe you slapped the giant robot in Manhattan. Maybe you hurt yourself because you're a big, clumsy dinosaur with a sheriff hat and arms too small to reach his six-shooter pistols.King of New York is a great game for casual gamers who want something fun and fairly light, yet with a surprising level of depth and strategy. The rules may seem imposing when you explain them for the first time, but gameplay is pretty intuitive.If you have played King of Tokyo, it is similar, but with a bit more depth so far as rules and game events. KoT is a great intro game, but I think KoNY is a bit meatier and geared towards casual gamers who want a little bit more. Unlike in KoT, in KoNY you can't just sit back and rack up points, as the military units and the possibility of being pushed into Manhattan remove that.You can try to win by scoring victory points, you can try to win by knocking out the other monsters, you can try to horde energy cubes and spend them on cards to weaken other monsters or strengthen yourself. Military units appear and begin to fill up the board as you destroy more and more buildings.Up to 6 players can take part in the mayhem, and gameplay moves fairly fast. While there is (potentially) player elimination, it usually does not occur until the later stages of the game, so it's fairly inclusive. Gameplay takes about 45 minutes on average.The board, cards, and pieces are quality, and even the box is pretty durable. And the concept of giant monsters is done with excellent comic/cartoon relief: there are cards like "Drink the Hudson River" and one card even lets you gain the Statue of Liberty as a tag-team city-crushin' partner.King of New York is a worthwhile investment for the under-$30 tag. It's fairly easy to teach the basics of once you start playing. 4King of New York is a solid update to the original.King of New York is a solid update to the original. It keeps the game simple enough (in my opinion) to help it remain a fine gateway/in-between game, but introduces enough fun new elements that I would suggest buying this instead of the original (King of Tokyo). If you already have King of Tokyo, I wouldn't go so far as to say you still need to pick this up, but I also wouldn't dissuade you from doing so. It's a very fun press-your-luck dice game with a funny theme and lots of enjoyable ancillary elements.It takes the original mechanics from King of Tokyo, and adds in a few fun new features. At the base of the game, the dice have been changed from 3 icons and 3 numbers to 6 distinct icons: attack, energy, heal, celebrity, destruction, and 'ouch!'. The first three have carried over, and are pretty self explanatory (damage other monsters, earn energy currency, and heal yourself). The others are a bit more interesting. Celebrity rolls take the place of the entire numbers system from the prior game. Now, you need to roll 3 Celebrity on your turn to take control of the Superstar card (a global card that is stolen back and forth throughout the game). You get 1 point for stealing the card, and 1 point per Superstar dice beyond 3 that turn. If you have the card at the start of your turn, each Superstar dice saved on your turn will give you 1 point. This turns the 'roll for points' mechanic into a situation where you may be forced to try to steal the card away from a player who has gotten close to a point victory.The Destruction dice side is used with another new system in the game - Building/Unit tokens. The game board is broken up into a set of 4 outer 'boroughs' and the inner 'borough' - Manhattan (the Tokyo of this game). Each borough has a set of building tokens which can be destroyed for one-time benefits of healing, victory points, or energy. You just roll enough Destruction, and you then flip over all of the building tokens you wish to destroy and take their benefits. By flipping over a building token, you reveal an army Unit token. Visible Unit tokens are a major risk/reward. Whereas Building tokens are benign, the Unit tokens can cause you damage if you or other monsters roll enough of the 'Ouch!' dice side. If you roll 1 'ouch!', all military unit tokens in your borough attack you for one damage each. If you roll 2, all units in your borough attack ALL monsters in your borough. If 3 are rolled, ALL showing military units on the board attach any monsters in their respective boroughs. Additionally, that player takes and holds a card that gives them 3 victory points until someone else rolls 3 'ouch!' and steals the card away.In addition to the dice changes, the 'sitting in Tokyo' mechanic has been slightly altered. Now, instead of a simple gain of a point or 2 for remaining in Tokyo for a full turn, you have a three step escalation of rewards. By remaining in Manhattan for a full turn, you get 1 victory and 1 energy. Stay another full turn, and you'll get 2 v and 1 e. Stay another full turn and you'll now constantly earn 2 v and 2 e per turn you continue to remain there. Again, another good enhancement to the risk/reward gameplay.As already stated, it's a game I'd highly recommend in general. If you're choosing between the King of Tokyo and King of New York, I would only ever choose Tokyo if you needed to keep things EXTRA simple. And in that case, I would question if you'd even like Tokyo... 4It's actually better, don't bother with TokyoA follow up game that's actually better than the original? Surprising. But this game adds more "things to do" and also balances it towards winning by victory points. Crushing buildings for points, health, and energy adds some flavor and additional strategy to the game play. In fact I'd say it's far easier than winning by victory points than killing everyone else. Most games end that way now. This version makes the original look a tad inferior. Looking forward to the expansion pack. 5I would find it unsatisfying to go back to KoT now, which is a remarkable achievement.King of Tokyo is a hard game to top. It's party-friendly. It's easy to pick up. Amongst the ideal 4-6 player range, it cycles among frantic alliances and betrayals. The theme is comical and the artwork, particularly its cards, are top notch. It's one of those games you can reliably bring along to please even those who aren't board game aficionados. It has but one glaring problem: turtling. It's far too effective a strategy to merely avoid entering Tokyo as much as possible, racking up victory points while your opponents fight amongst themselves. Which is pretty dull compared to the backdrop of stretching your roll to try to get that last attack face in order to eliminate an opponent.King of New York provides a novel counter to this. In place of the number faces of the dice are the new features of Destruction, Celebrity, and Ouch. Cities now fight back - military units break out in response to damage - and you can funnel these units to where your opponents are stationed. No monster is very safe for long. This isn't a small rebalance. You'll probably discover that while the rules remain pretty similar, habits from KoT are counter-productive in KoNY. It speeds up the game and rewards careful consideration. There's less room for error when choosing when to heal, when to gather energy, and when to attack.The only slights I can manage: the cards from KoT are mostly incompatible given these changes. Which is sad since some of them are pretty fantastic and I would love to include them. Second, the scoring placards haven't changed other than the artwork for new characters. So they still suffer from the problem of not very visibly showing health and victory points except through a very small window. This leads to lots of neck craning or 'health check' announcements. Neither of these are enough to dock KoNY out of five-star territory. All of the charms from before are still here, just refined. 5It is a keeper and nice for a variety of personalities!These types of games always confuse this mama, especially when my kids try to explain them to me. Yet this one stands out in a positive way. It is not too confusing when verbally explained, as so many are. I adore the stories we make up as we play, and having a table full of laughter is always a sign of a good game. This is my second purchase of this game, as our first one was ruined during a move. The time frame of game play varies, but typically is not longer than 45 minutes; although a player could get lucky and win very quickly. tee hee! The fact that we like the game enough to spend the $ to re-purchase it speaks volumes in our game playing family! One more nice aspect is that even I was able to explain the rules to a few new younger players. Yep, that is quite a feat around here. This one is a keeper for high level of enjoyment, appeal with various personalities, and time frame of play time.King of New York Board Game 4An instant family hitWe initially bought this game to have something with a little more dimension that King of Tokyo (KoT). We enjoy KoT, but were looking to break the routine a little and King of NY (KoNY) adds some more complexity and more depth, so we bought it. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised by this game. It offers a fun variation on the KoT pound-your friends-into-submission theme. Players can select different fight-or-flight strategies when pursuing victory in this game to a wider extent than KoT. My initial concern was that this game would be too complex as a gateway/introductory game, but after a brief explanation and test game, everyone in the family, many of whom are not gamers, were up-to-speed and enjoying the game. 5
