King of Tokyo is a dice-based game where a variety of monsters and mechanical monstrosities duke it out to see who will become the new overlord of Tokyo. You can assert your dominance by either defeating all other monsters or being the first to reach 20 points.

Gameplay operates under a "Battle Yahtzee" system, where you have 6 dice you can roll up to 3 times, keeping favorable results as you reroll less favorable ones. Dice can either deal damage to enemies (claws), grant energy to manifest new powers (lightning bolts), heal your injuries (hearts), or grant you points (3 or more of a specific number).

Energy is your currency for buying power cards in King of Tokyo, which can allow your monster to do a variety of cool things that include rolling extra dice, dealing extra damage, surviving fatal injuries, stealing powers from other monsters, and much, much more.

Claws and hearts are pretty self-explanatory - each claw inflicts damage on any monster in Tokyo if you aren't in Tokyo, or it inflicts damage on every monster outside Tokyo if you're in Tokyo. Hearts heal those injuries, but you may only use them outside of Tokyo.

If you're fortunate enough to roll 3 1s, 2s, or 3s on your dice, your score that many points. Each additional number beyond the 3rd grants you 1 additional point (So for example, 3 2s are 2 points, but 4 are worth 3, and 5 are worth 4).
