King of New York

Monsters meet Military

Monsters have become bored with Tokyo and chasing each other in and out of town. They have found a new target and want to become King of New York. But New York is different, just roll-hit-move is not enough, you cannot restrict yourself to targeting other monsters, you must destroy skyscrapers, develop new abilities, become a superstar and take care of the military attacks. Your monster stands in a borough and you roll your dice up to three times, you can re-roll any number of dice. After the third roll the latest the result is evaluated - a symbol takes effect as often as it has been rolled: Each lightning symbol gives you one energy cube, each heart heals one life, each attack symbol damages monster in or outside Manhattan, depending on your own locations. Destruction symbols destroy one unit resistance each, from building or unit. A completely destroyed building becomes a military unit, a destroyed unit is removed. Ouch symbols result in a military attack on a monster, depending on the number of symbols, and for Fame you can get stars directly, if you did roll at least three symbols. Then you move, either into Manhattan or out of Manhattan, can then buy cards to improve your monster and implement card effects that were triggered. If you are the last monster alive or have 20 stars, you win.

Manhattan really is not Tokyo! All is the same and yet very different, more symbols, monster upgrades are more attractive and there is more incentive to stay in Manhattan. SO you have to deliberate more, Wham Bamm alone does not guarantee survival. New York is more challenging, but Tokyo was more fun.
