IELLOKing of Tokyo: Duel - Two-Player Board Game, Fun & Tactical Giant Monster Clash Dice Game, Classic Strategy, Family Ages 8+, 2 Players, 20 Min

We just got this game and dove right in. I absolutely love King of Tokyo and have all the games and expansions, plus some. So when I saw this, I had to pre-order it. This is a two player game that involves a tug of war aspect where you are pushing and pulling two icons "Fame and Destruction" towards your goal. There are several ways to win/lose the game. The game has a smaller form factor that can be easily taken on the go. The game heavily relies on the special cards available and energy gathering. These duels are meant to take about 20-30 minutes per session. Our first game took almost 2 hours, this included reading the instructions, going back to certain special rules and my wife is very strategic and took quite a bit of time during the dice rolls and card purchase selections. When cards were purchased and introduced, we had a long battle take place with moving the icons back and forth. My wife ended up finally beating me, by pulling the fame icon into her winning circle. I'll get her next time! There are also some interesting buff tokens that you place and re-arrange on the board when indicated. Lots of variation and replayability with this game. It also comes with some stickers that you use when you complete certain challenges in the game. We managed to unlock two of these on our first game. Thanks to Richard Garfield and IELLO games for another great entry into the Kaiju Monster Battle Arena known as King of Tokyo! We love it!
