## Description

Maybe it's the lights, maybe it's the energy, or maybe it's the giant monsters trying to demolish the place! Get ready for Richard Garfield's follow up to the best-selling King of Tokyo! Who will be the King of New York? King of New York introduces lots of new ways to play, while still keeping the core ideas of King of Tokyo. There are Buildings to Stomp! Vengeful Military Units to Destroy! Six brand new Monsters! Every roll of the dice might mean that your monster feels the OUCH, as military units open fire. Will you grab the spotlight and become a celebrity Superstar? Or will you become the defender of the city and befriend Lady Liberty? Each of New York's boroughs has its own charms, but to truly rule the Big Apple, you have to control Manhattan. Defeat the other monsters and rule the city.... Become the King of New York!

Review: Not your same old monsters of Tokyo, but a whole new (awesome) King! - King of Tokyo has been one of the more played games in our rotation with friends and family of all ages for a few years now. When we heard King of New York was coming, we all hoped it would bring the same fun and not just be a re-hash of King of Tokyo. I'm delighted to say it's much more than that: it's honestly a step up, both in terms of complexity and strategy without losing the core elements of luck and dice. The card-buying via energy, healing, and attack dynamics are all familiar to King of Tokyo vets, but King of New York adds in several new components that improve on the game play and flow. Probably the most fun additions in our first several play-throughs have been the addition of the "ouch" and "celebrity" sides of the die, which can bring some much-needed table turning opportunities in the Superstar and Statue of Liberty. The building destroying dynamic was awkward at first but after a play-through everyone started to get the hang of using the buildings in your borough to your advantage--and if they weren't, to make sure you moved to a new borough after wreaking havoc or to avoid havoc being wreaked on you. The energy cards are all well-balanced and have some great stacking effects that can make every game totally unique on every play-through. Some of the cards seem innocuous enough and suddenly could make your quest to kingdom much easier. Every time you think you have a strategy that can work, the next game is totally different and that strategy might leave you high and dry. While luck is still a large component of the play with the rolling of the dice, there are many ways to get victory points or down other monsters, and the new dice components mean fewer dice without consequence at the end of a turn. No longer do you have two unused numbers at the end of a turn if you didn't complete your set, but you now can be destroying buildings or getting attached by units in the borough with those rolls. We bought a copy as a gift for two twelve year-olds and played three times this weekend; they quickly grasped the concepts after a play through and were excited to play again. While more complex than its predecessor, I'd say it's even more balanced, strategic, and yet still wonderfully random. Definitely worth checking out and every bit a party game that King of Tokyo is but it's also more than that: it's a wonderful game in its own right.
Review: Awesome game for teens and adults! - We like to play board games like ticket to ride, bang!, etc... I read some good things about Kings of Tokyo and then all of a sudden desertcart had this game on sale for a price I couldn't pass up. What a blast! It's not a long game. For 4 players I'd be surprised if it took more than 45 minutes to play all the way through once everyone knows what they're doing. For two players it's very quick, 20 minutes tops. Here's a high level summary of the game play. You play as a monster and your goal is to kill all of the other monsters and/or take over New York City. You get points by smashing buildings, other players, or the army. When it's your turn you can heal yourself, buy card that give you special abilities, and wreak havok on other players and the stuff that's in your borough. The player that is in Manhattan gets some special abilities like more money on each turn but the downside is that anyone can attack them and they can't heal. Players move in and out of Manhattan throughout the game. As the game gets into the late stages you've presumably destroyed a lot of buildings and the army starts to get a lot more powerful. If you're the last one alive or if you get enough points you win. It's a super fun game and very re-playable. As a two person game it's fun but in my opinion a little too short. If you can get more than 5 players the game starts to get really interesting. The only thing I don't like is that it's an elimination game. If you get destroyed at the beginning of the game you have to sit out and wait for the game to finish. It's not to bad though because like I said the game is pretty short. The rules are easy and anyone over the age of 8 or 9 should be able to pick up on them pretty fast. Highly recommended.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Not your same old monsters of Tokyo, but a whole new (awesome) King!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Game of strategy, as players fight each other to be king of NY!
*by E***D on July 22, 2015*

Love this Game!! If you like games where your pitted against the other players, this one is it! Play time: 30 - 45 min. QUICK PLAY: Each player starts with a monster on the board and a little cardboard thing that has a health meter set to 10, and a star meter set to 0. Your goal is to either get all other players to have a health of 0 (last player standing) or be the first player to reach a star meter of 20. If your health meter falls to 0 your out of the game. This is nice because "last player standing" games tend to take long like monopoly as each person slowly gets eliminated. Whenever we played, someone reached 20 stars first before all players were eliminated. So you place your monster on one of the five boroughs of new york! Yeah Im a moron who didnt know all 5 till I played this game... educational!! :) Tiles are also placed in each borough which can give you stuff... Then each player takes turns rolling up to 6 dice! And you can reroll as many of them as you want up to 3 times. This is nice because it eliminates chance and provides for strategy as you aim for getting certain rolls. The dice have 6 things you can do: repair health, attack (make others lose health), energy, star, break buildings, ouch! You roll, do damage, take damage, break buildings in new york to get cool stuff, and have fun while doing it!! There are of course more rules and the game has a big strategy depending on which borough you are in: if your are in manhattan and roll "attack", ALL other monsters outside take damage. But if you are outside manhattan and roll " attack", only the monster IN manhattan takes damage!! So beware, while it might be fun to be king of Manhattan you may fall pretty hard!! Great Game!
