fast paced fun

My housemate and my partner aren't massively into board games, but they both enjoy this one. It's a nice lighthearted game, easy to pick up and quick to play. A good palate cleanser between more rules heavy games.

well thought out game

Visited the store in Bath and this was recommended. The games are fairly short, probably less than 15 minutes each so you can play a few rounds. It feels well balanced and the power-ups and other parts of the game seem to be meaningful meaning there're are different strategies that can be employed. Both of my children enjoy it.

Fun game, especially with the expansion

This game has been a raving success among both regular gamers and people who had never played board games before. I highly recommend getting the expansion, it makes the game much more interesting.

Great game

Really fun game.

Easy to learn fun to play, a few possible strategies but lots of random and fast-paced play to keep the game staying fun throughout

OVERVIEW

InKing 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.

 

2-6 PLAYERS | 30 MINS | AGES 8+
