Read the full game description
King of Tokyo Godzilla recasts Richard Garfield’s dice-battling design with monsters, artwork, and powers from the Godzilla universe. On a turn, players roll and reroll six dice to attack, heal, gain energy, or score points, then spend energy on power cards that reshape future turns. The monster in Tokyo scores for holding the city but cannot heal and must absorb every outside attack, creating a constant push-your-luck decision. Be the first to twenty victory points or the last kaiju standing.
