To all those unfamiliar with
King of Tokyo, it is a board game designed by
Richard Garfield, wherein players choose one of a variety of monsters (and in our version, some custom ones as well!) and use their abilities, equipment and power-ups in order to gain the most fame or be the last one standing. The winner is the first player to reach 20 stars, or the only player to have any health.
Players throw 6 dice, and may reroll any number of them up to 2 times. That is to say, you get 2 rerolls.
Dice options include energy, heart, claw, 1, 2, and 3. With energy dice, players collect energy tokens to buy power cards with. With heart dice, players can heal damage done to them. With claw dice, players outside Tokyo can attack players in Tokyo, or players in Tokyo can attack players outside. Three 1 dies score 1 star, three 2s score 2, and three 3s score 3. If a players ends with more than 3 of the same numbered dice(4 dice with the result of 2) , they score additional points per same numbered dice (3 stars, instead of 2).
The game hosted, inspired by King of Tokyo, will be played with the infrastructure of Google Docs and the dice-rolling capabilities of the EtG chat room (usually the Tournament Room).
