Description
In King of Tokyo, you play as monstrous creatures—perhaps a gigantic robot, a fearsome dragon, or even a space penguin—battling for supremacy in the city. Each turn, you roll dice, strategically choosing to attack your rivals, heal damage, gain energy, or earn victory points.
The core of the game lies in the tension of occupying Tokyo. The monster in Tokyo earns bonus victory points but becomes the target of all the other monsters. Do you risk the constant attacks to secure your lead, or do you step aside to heal and prepare for a counter-attack? The first player to reach 20 victory points, or the last monster standing, wins the game.
