#GDEReviews: King of Tokyo (Episode 1 of 7)

This is the first installment of #GDEReviews!
And this is episode 1 of 7 for this installment on King of Tokyo! Check back next week for episode 2!

In King of Tokyo, players take on the role of giant monsters battling for supremacy in the streets of Tokyo!

King of Tokyo is an exciting, fast-paced board game that acts as a great introduction to many of the traditional elements of board gaming.

King of Tokyo is a “player elimination” game, meaning that players whose monsters are defeated are out until the end of the game. But King of Tokyo moves quickly enough that players shouldn’t be out for too long before they get a chance to play again. And you will want to play again!

There are two paths to victory: either be the first player to earn 20 victory points, or be the last monster standing after all other monsters’ health is reduced to zero.

Each player’s turn consists of four actions: dice rolling, dice resolution, card buying (which is optional), and ending the turn.

So let’s look at five elements of King of Tokyo – its pieces, dice, game board, cards, and counters – and how these elements serve as an introduction to some of the traditional elements of board gaming.
