Board Game - King of Tokyo: Monster Box

King of Tokyo is one of the best family games according to several generations of board gamers around the world. Richard Garfield's masterpiece has received a grand transformation in the form of the Monster Box - a monstrous box filled... to the brim with various mutant brutes ready to break and smash everything around, but primarily each other. Never before have the battles for the title of King of Tokyo been so fierce and diverse!

What's inside? A explosive mix: the base game King of Tokyo, expansions Recharge and Halloween, promo cards, a new hero, a cardboard dice tray, and dozens of hours of destructive gameplay.

Previously on King of Tokyo:
The city of Tokyo is in danger and is under attack by giant mutant monsters who want to find out who is the coolest among them. Crumbling skyscrapers, piles of broken glass, trampled parks - all of these are just a backdrop for the real action, as only one can emerge victorious.

While you and your friends play board games, the monsters are putting on world-scale entertainment. Nine legendary characters have gathered in a large and noisy company to once again battle for the prestigious title of King of Tokyo. Here they are: Cosmo Penguin and Cyber Cat, Alienoid and Pumpkinhead Jack, Pandakai and other heroes familiar to us from the base box or separate expansions. And there are newcomers at this life party - the adorable baby Giga-Saur is eager for battle, and despite his modest size, he has quite an appetite. As is known, it is not customary to arrive at a party empty-handed (or pawed), so our monsters have dressed up and brought something incredibly interesting with them.

Players will once again not be able to save the unfortunate city; moreover, they will take on the roles of destructive monsters with unique abilities. A roll of the all-powerful dice and a bit of luck will suggest the perfect tactics: the rolled values allow you to accumulate energy, perform furious attacks, heal wounds, and earn victory points. The main trick is to wisely allocate all the dice among the possible actions. What will you choose - risk your last life points and attack with all your might, or cautiously threaten your opponents from the corner, accumulating victory points? Or maybe you'll buy several effect and mutation cards to develop super-monster flexibility or grow another tail? You won't be able to sit on the sidelines - the King of Tokyo will be the one who is the first to score twenty points or remains proudly alone, crushing weaker and less fortunate monsters.

But such epic battles are a usual affair for giant mutants - the monkey-like King and the tailed Giga-Saur beat each other up almost every evening - let's return to the festive gathering. Having accumulated enough energy, now you can purchase a frightfully funny Halloween costume for your favorite heroes, which will not only bring cheerful giggles at the table but also provide some nice bonuses. And what does Mechadragon hold in his steel jaws? It’s a gift, how nice! But don't rush to rejoice, as this is a special type of mutation that may harm your hero. It’s time to finally decide which camp you’re in: those who love to give or those who adore receiving gifts.

Take classic black or unique orange dice to shake not the surface of the table, but the special cardboard dice tray. It will surely last long, unlike the unfortunate Tokyo, which will turn into picturesque ruins in each game. The stylish design of the cardboard game components is also not lagging behind: inside the box are colorful cards and boards, and the bright and detailed images of monsters remind you of superhero comics with you as the main characters.

We would continue to list the merits of this simply amazing and astonishingly simple game with dynamic sessions and cool characters, but you surely don't want to miss out on all the most interesting! Hurry up and grab your friends, family, colleagues, and anyone who comes your way - it's time for epic battles for the title of King of Tokyo!
