The king is dead, long live the king … and i am the king.

With this battle cry, you throw yourself into the ring for supremacy in Tokyo City as one of the most famous movie monsters in pop culture in this fighting dice game.

The aim is to be the only monster in the megacity for as long as possible and to terrify the population. Whoever controls the city regularly receives victory points, which are a way to win the game.

Not into collecting points like a squirrel? Then change your strategy and concentrate on the second victory variant, in which your monster is the only one left in the game with life points. Knock out your opponents with paw strikes, but keep an eye on your own health. If your opponents realize what you’re up to, they might gang up on you and you’ll be lying among the rubble of the demolished skyscrapers faster than you can summon Godzilla.

Find the right balance between dominating the city, health points, damage dealt and your energy supply. You can use the latter to buy mighty power-ups to make your monster even stronger or more resistant.

On a player’s turn, they roll up to 3 times with 6-8 dice, which display victory point numbers or symbols. He must now decide whether he wants to collect points, deal blows, heal himself or collect energy for power cards. If he is in the city center on the game board at this time, he must also decide whether to destroy another round of buildings there and collect victory points, or whether the risk is too high and he vacates his throne for the time being to return later with more power and energy.

Whatever you decide, the next roll of the dice can change the tide and you must constantly adapt your goals to the circumstances. The more players you have, the more unpredictable the effects of each individual player will be.

Still haven’t had enough of the wild monster battle? Take a look at the many expansions and variants of the game. New monsters, power-ups, dark editions, Halloween and trading cards. There’s something for every fan of 80s monsters.

Into battle you monsters of trash film and comic culture. May the wildest beast win. ROAAAEEEE!
