Very nice adaptation! I really like the clarity of the animations that "this player" is getting energy, or being damaged, etc.

Right now it's not included in the license(I presume, it wasn't before) and we first need to make sure the game is entirely bug free. Once in a while we do come across something that is just not yet ready, but it's becoming more rare than before.

But good news, very soon IELLO is releasing their King of Tokyo Monster Box(Q4 OCT-DEC 2021 was announced, mine is on preorder), which is the King of Tokyo base game(like we have now online) + Halloween + Power Up expansions… And how can I forget Baby Gigazaur, and 11 extra promo cards. Perhaps, if those sales go well, and the game get extra popular here, they may extend the licence to include extra expansions.

That’s unfortunate - i have bought several games after playing them on BGA first and I’m sure I’m not the only one. The Power Up expansion really elevates the game and could really generate more interest.

Nobody said it won't happen. For now, we just don't know ;) so anything can happen

Once you get reduced to zero, you are kicked out of the game? I want to be able to see how many friends are still doing after I'm dead.

You are asked if you want to stay or leave. If you leave, you can still find the game in your Tables in progress page ;)

In addition, you will get a notification when the game ends. (Or maybe that is a preference I have set?I get a notification)

I wish we could see the Final Game Situation for real-time tables - i can never remember which monsters each player was when i see the username of who won.

Not in a Turn Based Game. In Real Time, yes the game asks. In a Turn Based Game, once I was reduced to zero life, I am no longer in the game. The game is still in progress. I can see on my friends computer that he is still playing. But I cannot find the table again. Notification only appears once the game is complete. Same thing for my other friends who were knocked out. We cannot reenter the game.

Yes, we are in a 5-player turn-based game and just experienced this. The game asked if we wanted to stay in Tokyo and we said YES and suddenly the game was gone from our list, even though the other 3 players are still playing. I agree with above; we would like to still be able to see the game and who is winning/losing, until the game ends and all players receive the 'game has ended' notification.
