King of Tokyo — Wikipedia

King of Tokyo ^{[ first ]} is a board game, created in 2011 by Richard Garfield published and distributed by Iello.

At the head of a mutant monster sometimes also robotic, you must be the first to destroy the city of Tokyo (by obtaining 20 points of victory) or being the last monster in life.

In the basic game, six monsters are available: Alienoid, Cyber ​​Bunny, Giga Zaur, Kraken, Meka Dragon, and the King. In this version, the choice of the monster is only visual, while with extensions, specific rules and cards (developments cards) at each monster have been added.

The principle is as follows: thanks to the results obtained with your dice (three throws maximum) you can:

1. get victory points,
2. Put “slaps” to your opponents to make them lose points of life and bring them closer to their destruction,
3. Recover points of life,
4. store energy that allows, among other things, the purchase of cards,
5. With extensions obtain changes cards.

Via the cards purchased with your energy, you can get victories, inflict damage but above all get special powers.
