King Of New York

Product Description

New City New Rules New Monsters Same Fight To be the King! There&s always something happening in the city that never sleeps Maybe it&s the lights maybe it&s the energy or maybe it&s the giant monsters trying to demolish the place! King of New York is a standalone game from designer Richard Garfield that keeps the core ideas of King of Tokyo while introducing new ways to play As in Ko T your goal is to be the first monster to collect 20 victory points (VPs) or to be the last monster standing On your turn you roll six dice up to three times then carry out the actions on those dice Claws cause damage to other monsters hearts heal damage to yourself & energy is stored up so that you can purchase power cards that provide unique effects not available to anyone else What&s new in King of New York is that you can now try to become a star in the big city; more specifically you can achieve " Fame" which nets you VPs but superstar status is fleeting so enjoy your time in the spotlight The game board for King of New York is larger than in Ko T with each monster occupying a district in the city & everyone trying to shine in Manhattan When you attack you can displace a monster in another district whether to escape military forces or to find new smashing opportunities Yes smashing because you can now destroy buildings & get bonuses for doing so but the more destruction you cause the more intense the military response The monsters from King of New York can be used in Ko T & vice versa but the power cards are specific to this game Players 2-6 Ages 10 Playing Time 60 Minutes
