King of Tokyo Review

29 April 2016 by Eileen 94 Comments

King of Tokyo is a strategic game where players take on the role of giant monsters battling for domination of Tokyo.  It is a challenging and fun game involving dice rolling.  This game is available to buy from Esdevium store finder or on Amazon.

To set up this game, every player chooses a monster and places the figure on a plastic stand.  Then set its Life Points to 10 and Victory Points to 0.

Place the Tokyo board in the centre of the table.  The board represents the City of Tokyo, divided into two district places: Tokyo City and Tokyo Bay.  At the beginning of the game, nobody is in Tokyo, so no Monsters are on the board.  If there are four players or fewer, you will only use Tokyo City.  If you have 5 to 6, you use both.

Shuffle the cards and deal the first three cards face-up on the table.  Each player rolls the six black dice on their turn.  The green dices are use on special cards.

In my video, I will show you the contents and how to start the game.  Do check it out!
