Customer Reviews

Good. Could have been great. Modified rules make it more fun for 2.I write this review coming from a two player standpoint.Overall I like the idea. A battle of Kaiju over Tokyo. At the start, it's a dice rolling press-your-luck game. Glorified Yahtzee. But what makes this unique is the dynamic of not healing while in Tokyo, the ticking clock of staying in Tokyo, and the cards.What a shame, is that the game is over VERY quickly. And it seems like the cards and income accrual just aren't there before the clock runs out. I would much prefer it to last a little longer. Not using the cards are a shame because those are what makes the game more interesting!Modified rules can help and are likely needed. Such as getting two energy cube (currency) per die. Or double health ("die" then resurrect with a penalty, like a Street Fighter game).I really do think it needs a second revision to address these issues.But this is coming from the perspective of only playing in two player. A 4,5,6 player game may be totally different. 3A quick fun game for the family, or a filler game while you wait for your last gamer friend to drive over/pick up food.This 2-6 player game is fairly quick and simple to play. You roll dice like you would in Yahtzee, and you try and either accumulate points or knock the other monsters out.There's strategy, so it's not all dice rolling, but I would say that luck plays a bigger factor than actual skill in this game. But it's not as lopsided in the luck department like in Yahtzee by any means.There are also some cards that you can buy to either help improve your monster, or to help harm other monsters.All in all, it's a fun family game that doesn't take up a lot of time, and even younger kids can enjoy. There is the unlikely scenario where a person gets knocked out very early in the game, and if it's a child, she/he might be angry or upset that she/he has to sit on the sidelines whilst she/he waits for the game to end. 4Great for family game night, beat up your siblingsTabletop gaming truly has reached a great renaissance lately, and this is a perfect example of it. This game is relatively easy to learn, and I'd say the monsters all acting identically is actually a strength because of its simplicity. This is essentially a king of the hill game, with all the players acting as generic mega-monsters out to crush human civilization. You're not the only one though, as other horrific B-movie monsters also want to claim Tokyo as their own. You can either play a dominance strategy, trying to take control of Tokyo and bash all other players to death, or go for more subtle glory through star power (points). Players that opt for the survival strategy risk getting bashed by each other player, but if they manage to survive, they can bring the pain to all other players simultaneously on their turn! Players going for victory by points still have to worry about whoever controls Tokyo, or risk them quickly running away with the game. It's a very interesting kind of "push your luck" design that doesn't take long to explain at all, allowing players to get right into bashing each other silly! Although I personally prefer King of New York, or at least using the Upgrade Pack, this clearly has the widest appeal. If this is "Yahtzee with monsters," why would you ever play Yahtzee again? 5Our New Favorite GameWe love King of Tokyo. It s easy to learn how to play, combining dice rolling (like Yahtzee) with monsters and power cards. There are two ways to win, either get 20 Victory Points first or be the last monster standing (alive).This is one of our go-to games when friends are over (we enjoy playing games like Dominion, Survive, 7 Wonders, Pandemic, 6 Nimmt, Feast or Famine, etc).A game usually takes us around 30 minutes to play (even with 6 players, though we often play with 3). We have so much fun, that most times we immediately play it again.We bought the Pandakai power up pack separately, thinking it would add a fun element, but we prefer playing the game in its original form. We do like having Pandakai as an additional monster option, though.It s simple enough that 8 year olds and up would have fun playing this game, yet complex enough that it s never boring.Our 4 and 6 year olds still play on teams with a parent, but they love to roll the dice.We are so happy we bought this game for Christmas (almost 2 months ago). 5Best game everMy new favorite board game. The different ways of winning (killing people, scoring points, using cards to power up and then score points) make for great strategic complexity and replay-ability. My friends and I have a lot of fun playing this and it's became a new favorite board game. The art and names of cards are also quite charming. If I had to nitpick, it feels like combat is a bit too powerful - in maybe 75% of games, the winner wins by killing the other players rather than scoring points. But that could just be our personalities 5My husband and I loved this gameMy husband and I loved this game. We played it together and had a great time. My husband does not like that much strategy games, but loves monsters and action games, so I bought this thinking that he would enjoy it and I wasn't wrong, he said this was perfect and actually had a very good time together. The materials and quality if the game is also very good, colorful and fun. 5What....a....game!Easy to learn? Check.Special abilities to be gained? Check.Monstrous (tee hee hee) combos to be created? Check.Easy for childen (at least as young as my 8-year-old nephew) and adults (up to 63 so far :) )???? Check.Massive replayability? Check (probably played about 40 games over the last year or so, and enjoyed them all).Loads of fun? Check.Bought this for myself, family, and friends (100% of whom have enjoyed it)? Check.Assurance that you should buy it? Check.Check, mate. 5Great game!This was bought for our daughter s seventh birthday and has provided endless hours of fun for the family. Easy to pick up, with just enough depth to entertain both adults and children, it s highly reccomended! The mechanics are simple, but allow for strategy and planning, all of which can go out the window when the dice land a certain way.Although some multi-player table top games aren t as fun with fewer people, this game holds up quite well in a duel situation, providing a different dynamic when only two players are present.We typically play the game with two adults and a child of 7; each time ends in a completely different way and is always enjoyable. The expansion sets provide enough variety to keep things fresh, should the base game become to stale.It s not your typical childrens board game, but is highly reccomended for kids and adults alike! 5Fast, fun and easy!Fun, fast and easy game for the whole family. To me it plays like a video game, but with more interaction and more fun. The art work is adorable and being a monster is fun. Once you learn the rules, it goes fast. My 8 year old son and husband LOVE this game. It was easy enough that my 5 year old daughter and I teamed up against them and won. She would roll the die and advise me on which to keep. She did pretty good too.) This is definelty a good game if you want something about 15 to 30 min play. (Unless you are like us and we play a couple of rounds because there is no way you going to let someone else be King of Tokyo. If you are a board gamer, add this to your collection. I m glad I did. 5Great game, easy to learn for gaming newbs.Great game. Quick to learn. Playable for Non gamers. For hardcore gamers it will get boring fast it you play several rounds in a row, but is an amazingly balanced good game in small doses.My game group uses it as a warm up or a night cap. Or if we have a non gamer over! A must own for the collection.Once players are familiar, games can take as little as ten glorious minutes of Smashing! 5
