Hasbro King of Tokyo

This is a dice-chucking game where you're a giant monster, robot, or alien trying to stomp Tokyo into submission. You roll six custom dice, trying to get combinations that give you energy, heal you up, or let you smack other monsters around. The goal is to be the last one standing or to rack up 20 victory points.

What's Inside

You get a board game. The box says "Mixed Materials," which is about as helpful as a screen door on a submarine. They also list "undefined" pieces, so don't expect a detailed inventory. It does meet EN 71 safety standards, which is probably good if you're worried about your giant monster toy spontaneously combusting.

How It Works

You roll dice. You decide what to do with the results. Attack, heal, gain energy, or try for victory points. You can also buy special power-up cards to give yourself an edge. It’s pretty straightforward once you get the hang of the dice symbols.

What You're Doing

• Dice Rolling: This is the main event. You'll be rolling a lot of dice, hoping for the right symbols.
• Monster Combat: You can attack other players directly. It’s not subtle.
• Victory Points: You don't have to eliminate everyone to win. Get to 20 points and you're done.

Usage Notes

Try to keep the dice on the table. The box dimensions are 30 x 22 x 12, and it weighs 1 unit. They don't specify if that's pounds or kilograms, so you figure it out.

Questions People Ask

How long does a game usually take?

Expect about 30 to 60 minutes. It really depends on how fast your group makes decisions.

Is this game complicated?

Not really. Most people can learn the rules pretty quickly.

What age is this really for?

They say "All ages," but younger kids might need a hand with the strategy or reading the cards.

Can you play with fewer than 3 people?

The box says 3-7 players. It's probably not as much fun with only two.
