Overview

In King of New York, you're not just a monster; you're a monster battling for control of the Big Apple! Roll dice to smash buildings, attack other monsters, heal your wounds, or gain valuable energy. Secure borough control by occupying key areas, earning fame and victory points. But beware, drawing too much unwanted attention will trigger a military response, forcing you to endure devastating attacks.

The game offers a push-your-luck element with its energy and area control mechanics. Each round presents tough choices: Do you risk staying in Manhattan for more fame, or retreat to the outer boroughs to heal and rebuild? Can you endure the military onslaught or will another monster seize control while you're down? Carefully choose your path to become the true King of New York, but be warned, only one monster can reign supreme, and player elimination is possible!
