We would be King…..

Our favourite game this Christmas? It has got to be ‘King of Tokyo’, although we have only played around a dozen times so far (it is still only the 27th!!) it has shot straight to the top of our favourite game chart!! It is enormous fun for all ages (8+, but we reckon even slightly younger ones will get the gist ok)… It is a great game for ‘non gamers’, in fact they seem even more keen to keep playing than the regular gamers!! It is extremely easy to pick up and learn (the aim of the game is to be ‘King of Toyko’ (surprise, surprise!) either by being the last monster standing or through accumulating victory points, it is primarily a dice game of sorts,  but with some great fun ‘special effect’ cards thrown in, which can be bought with energy cubes. The ‘Power Up’ expansion adds not only a great Pandakai toon to the game, but also ‘Evolution’ cards to all existing monsters….

The only downside for us, and we have read this elsewhere too, is the quality of some the printing on the cards, and the pieces can be slightly off, but in our copy it is only a couple of cards and doesn’t detract from our overall enjoyment. 🙂

So, if you’re looking for something a bit different next year, you can do a lot worse than the multi award winning King Of Toyko…
