Simon got me King of Tokyo for my birthday, and I’m totally hooked! It’s designed by Richard Garfield (Magic: The Gathering, anyone?), and it’s such a beautifully constructed game that reminds me of Rampage, one of my favorite videogames. Basically, you play as a monster and you battle competitors to take control of Tokyo. Rounds are short, and you can play with anywhere between 2 and 6 players. All the artifacts (dice, cards, character placards) are beautifully designed, too! While the game isn’t cheap ($40), you’ll certainly get your money’s worth, as King of Tokyo has excellent replay value. You can grab a set from Amazon, or better yet, your local hobby store!
This looks fun!
