IELLO King of Tokyo Cthulhu Monster Game Pack

This is an add-on to an expansion, so you need the base games with their respective expansions King of Tokyo + King of Tokyo: Power Up and/or King of New + King of New York: Power Up Components: 1 Cthulhu Monster Mover with stand 1 Cthuluh Monster board 8 King of Tokyo Evolution cards 8 King of New York Evolution cards 15 Building tiles (Temple of Cthulu for Building side, Cultist for Unit side) 12 Madness tokens The components are of the same quality as the KoT and KoNY games, which is very good. I don't own KoT, so I can't review the gameplay for it. I will only talk about what it adds to the KoNY experience. What does it add? The building stacks in each borrough are now 3 stacks of 4 instead of 3 stacks of 3, some buildings wil grant an extra turn or an evolution card, and this are available for all monsters. The unit side are cultists, they attack the same way all units attack, the difference is that the monster who destroys it gets to keep it and use it at his later convenience, they grant 1 HP, 1 energy or an extra roll. Though they need to be careful on when they use this cultists, because Cthulhu can steal them with an evolution card. Madness tokens, this are exclusive to Cthulhu and can only be used through his evolution cards. The number of Madness tokens a monster has, is the number of dice that a monster can't reroll in their turn. Those dice are only rolled once and can't be rerolled. Monseters can remove madness tokens by using Hearts from dice. If you like the evolution cards from the base expansion, you will like this ones. Overall, it's a good expansion to have. If you are between this and King Kong Monster Pack and can only choose one, I would go for this one. The addition that it provides for all players (the building tiles) is more usefull than the Empire State building that comes with the King Kong expansion, you will get more out of the building tiles and provides a better experience for all players. The Madness tokens, like the Beauty Card that comes with the King Kong expansion, are one sided towards who is controling the monster from their respective expansion, but that's how the evolution cards work, they give advantages to each monster. Cthulhu is fun to play, I believe it's a must have for lovers of this game.

Great addition to an awesome game :)

Perfect!

King of Tokyo is currently my favorite board game, so adding Baby Gigazaur was definitely worth it! The power ups are pretty good, and who can resist its cuteness!? They should make more micro expansions with promotional characters with power ups. I especially like that this is only $10 compared to having to buy the whole monster box just to get Baby Gigazaur. If your a KoT fan, this will definitely be a fine addition to your collection

Me encantó

It goes well with the other power up expansion, but does not fit in the other box. The box this ships in is not a box, but rather more like a clam shell. It does not fit well on the shelf. It comes with duplicate power ups, just different backs to match King of Tokyo or New York.

It adds quite a bit of content to both King of Tokyo and New york. The idea of being able to sacrifice followers in a pinch is a great adition.

Was looking for something to help spice up our King of Tokyo games and this has been a really nice first addition. So easy to integrate into the game. Had played it once on BGA before and liked it there, so it wasn't a blind purchase. Adds a little bit of extra strategy with going for a set of four and the cultist tiles give you more flexibility for either healing/pushing your luck with a reroll/buying power cards. Haven't actually used the character specific power up cards yet, but looking forward to trying those as well for this particular monster
