How to play Kaiju King
- 1You are a giant monster. Roll six dice up to three times, keeping the ones you like.
- 2Triples score points, hearts heal, lightning buys power cards, claws punch — whoever holds the city hits everyone outside, everyone outside hits the city.
- 3Holding the city earns points but you cannot heal there. First to 20 points, or the last monster standing, wins.
Full Kaiju King rules
The goal
- •Be the first monster to 20 points — or the last one with any health left.
- •Everyone starts with 10 health, 0 points and 0 energy.
Rolling
- •Roll all six dice. Then, up to two more times, keep any dice you like and reroll the rest.
- •You may stop early. When you stop (or run out of rolls) the dice resolve.
What the dice do
- •Three of a number scores that number in points (three 2s = 2). Each extra matching die adds 1.
- •Each heart heals 1 — but never while you are in the city. Health tops out at 10.
- •Each lightning bolt is 1 energy, spent on power cards.
- •Each claw is 1 damage. In the city, you hit every monster outside. Outside, you hit whoever is in the city.
The city
- •If the city is empty after your dice, you move in and score 1 point.
- •Start your turn in the city: +2 points. But you cannot heal there.
- •When someone hits you in the city, you may flee: they take your place. Stay too long and you will be flattened.
Power cards
- •After rolling, buy any of the three face-up cards with energy, as many as you can afford.
- •Some take effect at once; others stay with you for the rest of the game.
- •Pay 2 energy to sweep the three cards away and turn up three new ones.
Tips to win at Kaiju King
- •Entering the city scores every turn, but you cannot heal inside: leave when your health gets low.
- •High sets are worth more: three 3s are 3 points and each extra 3 adds 1.
- •Energy carries over: saving for a permanent power card usually beats spending on the first one you see.
- •There are two ways to win: 20 points or being the last one standing. If everyone else is low on health, going for claws can be faster than going for points.
