Monsters, assemble! The King of Tokyo tournament is your chance to roll the dice, unleash devastating attacks, and claim the city for yourself. Will you go for sheer destruction or a clever energy-fueled strategy? The battle for Tokyo begins—only one monster will stand tall in the end!

Minimum Players: 12

Maximum Players: 24 

Time Limit per game: 40 mins


SET-UP:

All players should confirm the components before play begins, base game only. No expansion or promo cards. The seating, start player, tiles, and cards will be random.

Randomly select the 1st player, with turn order proceeding clockwise. The player in Seat 2 shuffles all the decks and reveals cards as normal.

TOURNAMENT RULES

We will follow the official rules from the IELLO website (reference from World Boardgaming Championships®). 

TIEBREAKER: 

In the event of a tie, tiebreakers will be as follows:

1. Everyone still alive at the end outranks everyone dead. People who die later outrank people who die earlier.

2. For those who die at the same time (or do not die), rank by number of stars.

3. If still tied, rank by hearts. For those that died at the same time, this includes negative hearts: If I do 3 damage to two players, one who has one heart left and one who has three hearts left, the one with three hearts left ranks higher (assuming equal stars) since they are ahead 0 to -2.

4. If still tied, use the total cost of all cards owned (including DISCARD power-up cards).

5. If still tied, the next tiebreaker is the number of energy cubes.

6. If still tied, roll six dice. Most claws win.

Time Limit

If no outright winner is established when time is called, the player with the most Stars is the winner (ties will follow the tiebreaker rules above). If a player exceeds the time allocation for their turn (2 minutes), the judge will roll once, and all effects will apply except buying cards.
