IELLOIELLO | King of Tokyo: Power Up Expansion | Board Game | Ages 8+ | 2 to 6 Players | 30 mins Minutes Playing Time

Very simple to understand, has good complexity if you care, very dependent on luck, very easy to learn and teach to people. Has several other expansions that can be added to it. The box is large enough to fit even more content in it. Would recommend, excellent as a gift.You win by either destroying all others monsters 2-6 players, or getting 20 points first. Each monster has unique cards that fundamentally changes how you play as them, these are gained by rolling 3 health dies, this gives an advantage to more defensive players, as without these cards the game favours playing ultra aggressive and is rather mundane and boring.You roll up to three times per turn.Something of an engine builder gamer too, where to can really create a unique strategy based on circumstance.Highley recommend.

Starting from where King of Tokyo left off King of New York has a very familiar feel. Choosing monsters, rolling dice, trying to hold on to Manhattan (Tokyo). However, there are some quite significant differences that mostly lead to an improvement over the original.Pros - The board is now necessary, this may seem like an odd thing to say about a board game but players of it's predecessor will know what I mean. The board of Tokyo only had 1/2 players on at any one time and the majority of players character's would be sat off of it. Now the boroughs of New York beyond Manhattan offer an interesting array of additional actions that I shall come on to later. They have removed the 1s, 2s, and 3s from the dice! I found this one of the most unsatisfying elements of the original and the least interactive. These options have been replaced by stars, destruction and ouchs. The latter two involve the addition of buildings in all boroughs, even Manhattan. By rolling the destruction icons monsters can now destroy buildings, doing so will reveal a military unit. On later turns these too can be destryoed. The ouchs can cause you and/or other player to take damage from these units. The stars are my least favourite as they essentially have the direct result of victory points but nowhere near as easily as rolling 3 3s does in the original.Cons - Set up time is now increased due to having to setup these piles of buildings, a minor point but worth mentioning as these games are often used as fillers between longer games and you would therefore not want a lengthy setup. That being said the setup is still minimal. Due to the slightly increased complexity I have found individual turns now take slightly longer as people have to spend more time thinking about what their next action will be, this is obviously more subjective a criticism and depends greatly on the group of people.Summary - I struggled to pull out any negatives and there are many more positives I did not discuss, If you enjoy King of Tokyo I can see no reason why you wouldn't love this game, that being said I wouldn't describe it as an essential 'upgrade' as personally I do not own a copy of King of Tokyo and if I had probably would not have purchased this, at least not right away. For those that have played neither I would recommend this game over King of Tokyo as the main issues I had with Tokyo have been fixed which in turn leads to more player interaction that in my opinion is where the fun lies!

King of Tokyo is such a good and easy to pick up game. And this monster box not only includes two of the big expansions, as well as space for all four monster expansions and the mini wickedness expansion. If you're going to go for this game, go big.I have had so much fun playing with and without the expansions. A great party game for both serious and casual gamers.

King of New York is effectively King of Tokyo version 2.0. It's as if the creator of the game, Richard Garfield, sat down after the success of King of Tokyo and relfected on what he would have done differently had he made the game again. The result is King of New York - a game which keeps all the positives from Tokyo and looks to add some new additions to hopefully improve the game.What's the same? - You're still fighting over Tokyo (only this time it's Manhattan) and monsters inside the area attack all others, while those outside the area attack only Manhattan.- The energy and cards work exactly the same and the game comes with some cool new cards as you'd expect- Hearts (heal) and claws (attack) are exactly the same- You still have 6 monsters fighting to be king! Although they're different and new monsters to TokyoWhat's new?- The board now has boroughs (areas) for monsters to hang out in while they're not in Manhattan, so you're not just off the board while not in Tokyo anymore- The numbers on the dice (1, 2 and 3) are all gone- They've been replaced with a star, a building destruction and ouch symbol- Roll three stars and you become the star of NY allowing you to score victory points by rolling more stars on future turns- There are now buildings on the board in each borough. These buildings can be destroyed by rolling destruction icons. Each building gives you a reward (health, energy and victory points) for destroying it. Fun!- Once buildings are destroyed you turn them over and they become a military unit in the borough where the building was. Military units can hurt the monsters! If you roll 1, 2 or 3 ouch symbols you will cause the military to fight back either only on you (1), you and the other monster in your borough (2) or all monsters (3). This can be a great way to cause damage to other monsters no matter where they are. Military units can also be destroyed using the destruction icons - you get rewards for doing this too. If you roll 3 ouches you will also get a statue of liberty card which gives you 3 points so long as you have it- You can now move around the boroughs- You now have increased reward for staying in Manhattan - the longer you're in there the more points and energy you will get.How's it play?It plays better than Tokyo in my opinion. Tokyo was one of my favourite games but New York has improved upon and overtaken it for me. There are more options in the game to cause chaos and have plenty of fun while doing so. The buildings and military units add a lot. If you enjoy Tokyo you will really enjoy New York.Do you need it if you have Tokyo alreadyWell, Tokyo is still a great game but I don't see myself going back to it now I've played New York. For me, it's either one or the other - there's not a huge reason to keep both in your collection.

If you like the King of Tokyo game mechanics and style, but don't want to play competitively against people, this is a great game. The wife and I tend to lean towards co-operative games, as we are both very competitive and playing games against each other frequently just ends poorly, but playing together works great, so I'm super happy I came across this game.

El juego Base es 100% amigable, divertido y familiar nunca obtendras 2 partidas iguales, practicamente un Rey de la Colina :D . Viene en ingles pero no es complicado la verdad solo lo usaras para leer cartas que puedas comprar en la tienda.Ahora viene lo chido si le metes las expansiones ya incluidas en este Monster Box o si ya compraste diferentes Monsters Packs que tambien le agrega Mecanicas adicionales al juego, obtendras un Super Juegazo tan complejo y tan intenso como lo desees. No se confien este juego da mucho volteo de mesa

Super fun to play!

King of Tokyo base game is easy enough for family with kids 8+, but with enough strategy to keep adults brains fully engaged. Add the game features of Costume Cards and Power Up Evolution Cards, separately or together, and King of Tokyo goes from cute and silly to brutal and demanding! Set up time is just a few minutes. The rules can be a little tricky for the first game or two, then become second nature. My girlfriend and I are in our sixties, and this game makes us feel like kids! Crazy fun for three to six players, but two can have a blast when each player has two monsters. I love:*The price!*Spacious box with molded insert that stores everything neatly.*The artwork.*The clever and useful dice rolling tray.*The mix-and-match game mechanics.*Extra room in box if you buy Monster Pack expansions (which I'm sure I will).*Monster packs (purchased separately) that add new game mechanics and a new monster in every pack.

Lo único malo es eso, pero pues ni modo, ahí le traduces o que se pongan a estudiar los jugadores.
