King of Tokyo

A dice-rolling monster brawl where you fight to claim Tokyo — and then desperately try to hold it. You are a mutant monster, a gigantic robot, or some other magnificent creature of destruction, and Tokyo is yours for the taking.

Roll six dice up to three times per turn, keeping or rerolling as you choose. Dice faces give you victory points, energy, healing, or attacks. Spend energy on special power cards — a second head, body armour, a nova death ray — to give your monster a terrifying edge. The monster who occupies Tokyo earns bonus points every turn, but can't heal and must face every other monster alone. Hold the city as long as you dare, or smash your way back in when someone else takes the throne. First to 20 victory points, or last monster standing, wins.
