About this product

A curated Afrishon World pick for energetic family game nights, quick laughs and screen-free monster mayhem.

A fast and exciting dice battle game where 2–6 players become giant monsters fighting to rule Tokyo.

Product Description

In King of Tokyo 2016 Edition, players become massive monsters, robots and aliens battling for control of Tokyo. Roll the dice, choose your best results and decide whether to attack, heal, collect energy, buy Power cards or chase Victory Points.

The fun comes from timing your move into Tokyo perfectly. Stay in Tokyo and you can score faster, but you also become the biggest target at the table. Play boldly, power up your monster and try to win by reaching 20 Victory Points — or by being the last monster still standing.

• Easy to learn and exciting to replay — great for families, casual gamers and mixed-age groups.

• Push-your-luck decisions — stay in Tokyo for points, or leave before everyone smashes you into monster dust.

Good to Know

• This is a standalone base game. No other game is required to play.
• Players win by reaching 20 Victory Points or by being the last monster alive.
• Dice results let you gain points, collect energy, heal or attack.
• Monsters inside Tokyo score points but cannot heal with normal dice results, making Tokyo powerful but risky.
• Best for players who enjoy direct interaction, funny table moments and light competitive chaos.
• Because players can attack each other, it may be a bit spicy for very sensitive players — monster feelings can be fragile, apparently.

Care & Maintenance

Store the dice, cards, tokens and monster standees safely in the box after play.
Keep cards away from spills and avoid bending the monster boards or cardboard figures.
