Richard Garfield's KING OF TOKYO: I'm big in Japan!
Posted: 06 October 2021, 10:36
Yeah, you know they're gonna bring it down now...
They're gonna wreck it down, yeah!
(Insert a famous 1998's bass line here) You get it?
It is time for some monsters to smash down buildings in Tokyo. Again.
Most players might have heard of Richard Garfield, the creator of the famous trading card game Magic The Gathering. With King of Tokyo, Richard Garfield offers a crazy game in which you will play as mutant monsters, gigantic robots and other monstrous creatures who will fight in a joyful atmosphere with the sole purpose of becoming the one and only King of Tokyo.
Destroy everything in your path!
At the start of each turn you roll six dice that show the following six symbols: 1, 2, or 3 Victory Points, Energy, Heal, and Attack. Over three successive throws choose whether to keep or discard each die in order to win victory points, gain energy, restore health, or attack other players into the understanding that Tokyo is YOUR territory.
The fiercest player will occupy Tokyo, and earn extra victory points, but that player cannot heal and must face all the other monsters alone!
Such a (Kai)jūrney!
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....
It's up to you to adapt the best strategy to become the King of Tokyo at the right time and attack all of your opponents at the same time...
The first one to reach 20 Victory Points... or the last one alive... wins the game!

We would like to thank a thousand times the people at Iello, and, obviously, the game designer Richard Garfield for their trust in our team, and their help in bringing this wonderful game on the platform.
And as usual, you might know that we cannot do anything without a developer. And it's thanks to thoun (again) that this has been made possible. Such a development monster. The good kind, of course.
That's it for today.
Next week, we will be in Essen Spiel fair. If you cross our paths, don't hesitate to ask for your "I met you In Real Life" trophy. It always shines on a game profile.
Thanks for reading.
I'm quite surprised you've stayed till the end of this long text. Go. Play Now. Michael Bay style.
Tokyo awaits. And take some mutagens with you. It's dangerous to go alone.
KA-BOOOM!
