King of Tokyo
Roll dice, stomp buildings, decide if the crown is worth it.
What it is
Yahtzee with monsters, in the best way. You roll six big dice up to three times, pick what you keep, and attack the monster currently in Tokyo. It suits kids and grandparents alike, and it is easy to teach.
What we love
- First-turn fun on turn one, no ramp
- The take-that is loud but blunted by dice luck, which keeps feelings intact
- Power cards give the right amount of asymmetric spice
Honest trade-offs
- A player eliminated early sits out the rest of the game, which can mean ten minutes of watching
- The theme is cartoon monster-on-monster violence; no gore, no horror
