The card-buying via energy, healing, and attack dynamics are all familiar to King of Tokyo vets, but King of New York adds in several new components that improve on the game play and flow. Probably the most fun additions in our first several play-throughs have been the addition of the "ouch" and "celebrity" sides of the die, which can bring some much-needed table turning opportunities in the Superstar and Statue of Liberty. The building destroying dynamic was awkward at first but after a play-through everyone started to get the hang of using the buildings in your borough to your advantage--and if they weren't, to make sure you moved to a new borough after wreaking havoc or to avoid havoc being wreaked on you.
The energy cards are all well-balanced and have some great stacking effects that can make every game totally unique on every play-through. Some of the cards seem innocuous enough and suddenly could make your quest to kingdom much easier. Every time you think you have a strategy that can work, the next game is totally different and that strategy might leave you high and dry. While luck is still a large component of the play with the rolling of the dice, there are many ways to get victory points or down other monsters, and the new dice components mean fewer dice without consequence at the end of a turn. No longer do you have two unused numbers at the end of a turn if you didn't complete your set, but you now can be destroying buildings or getting attached by units in the borough with those rolls.
We bought a copy as a gift for two twelve year-olds and played three times this weekend; they quickly grasped the concepts after a play through and were excited to play again. While more complex than its predecessor, I'd say it's even more balanced, strategic, and yet still wonderfully random. Definitely worth checking out and every bit a party game that King of Tokyo is but it's also more than that: it's a wonderful game in its own right.
You play as a monster and your goal is to kill all of the other monsters and/or take over New York City. You get points by smashing buildings, other players, or the army. When it's your turn you can heal yourself, buy card that give you special abilities, and wreak havok on other players and the stuff that's in your borough. The player that is in Manhattan gets some special abilities like more money on each turn but the downside is that anyone can attack them and they can't heal. Players move in and out of Manhattan throughout the game. As the game gets into the late stages you've presumably destroyed a lot of buildings and the army starts to get a lot more powerful. If you're the last one alive or if you get enough points you win.
It's a super fun game and very re-playable. As a two person game it's fun but in my opinion a little too short. If you can get more than 5 players the game starts to get really interesting. The only thing I don't like is that it's an elimination game. If you get destroyed at the beginning of the game you have to sit out and wait for the game to finish. It's not to bad though because like I said the game is pretty short. The rules are easy and anyone over the age of 8 or 9 should be able to pick up on them pretty fast. Highly recommended.
If you like games where your pitted against the other players, this one is it!
Play time: 30 - 45 min.
QUICK PLAY:
Each player starts with a monster on the board and a little cardboard thing that has a health meter set to 10, and a star meter set to 0.
Your goal is to either get all other players to have a health of 0 (last player standing) or be the first player to reach a star meter of 20.
If your health meter falls to 0 your out of the game.
This is nice because "last player standing" games tend to take long like monopoly as each person slowly gets eliminated. Whenever we played, someone reached 20 stars first before all players were eliminated.
So you place your monster on one of the five boroughs of new york! Yeah Im a moron who didnt know all 5 till I played this game... educational!! :)
Tiles are also placed in each borough which can give you stuff...
Then each player takes turns rolling up to 6 dice! And you can reroll as many of them as you want up to 3 times. This is nice because it eliminates chance and provides for strategy as you aim for getting certain rolls.
The dice have 6 things you can do: repair health, attack (make others lose health), energy, star, break buildings, ouch!
You roll, do damage, take damage, break buildings in new york to get cool stuff, and have fun while doing it!!
There are of course more rules and the game has a big strategy depending on which borough you are in:
if your are in manhattan and roll "attack", ALL other monsters outside take damage. But if you are outside manhattan and roll " attack", only the monster IN manhattan takes damage!! So beware, while it might be fun to be king of Manhattan you may fall pretty hard!!
Great Game!

If you want a relatively simple game, with decent replayability, which is fun for boardgame enthusiasts and beginners alike, I'd recommend it!
Ayant le King of Tokyo nous avions hésité à acheter la version New York, de peur qu'ils se ressemblent trop, au final nous jouons aux 2.
Le King of New York est un peu plus long à mettre en place, pour cause il est un peu plus "stratégique" du fait des différents états sur lesquels sont placées des bases militaires (qui peuvent aussi bien donner des vies ou des étoiles qu'attaquer les monstres..).
Un très bon titre pour jouer en famille ou entre amis, quelque soit l'âge (la dernière fois c'est notre 8 ans qui a gagné, et papa éliminé le 1er). Original et fun. Accessible dès 7-8 ans.
Ici on adore.
And the rating will go in this manner -
Shipping/Packaging(5/5) - Received it pretty soon from amazon, nothing extra to tell about their service.
Board game box condition and inner parts (5/5) - Simply fantastic components. You will have to look and feel the components to know why it costs that much. This is no funskool manufactured products.
Pricing(5/5) - I got it for 2000 which was provided by my favourite seller Toycra. I am not sure how they do it, but they provide discount on some of the imported products. Hats off to you guys and thanks for matching the price equal to that in US.
Seller(5/5) - They are the best. Nothing more to say.
Lastly about the board game(4/5) - I am not sure but I don't like this game as much as my friend does, not sure why. May be preferences. He has king of Tokyo and that I dont like even more. In king of New york you get some extras like breaking the building. Movement inside Manhattan(equivalent to Tokyo in King of Tokyo). And also the dice has been changed. There are no numbers. instead building breaking and other stuff. This is much better than King of Tokyo.
Last works to buyers, If you like some strategy more luck and fun timepass with kids and family and sometimes your friends too, you should have this.
I would like to write this to say that it was easy to pick up, even for my one friend who hears 6 rules and says it is too much and wants to quit. (Yes there are more than 6 rules, but they are so basic that they felt there was many options without being complicated)
I have never played King of Tokyo so I can not compare, but reading other reviews brought me to purchase King of New York first and I am VERY glad that I did. I feel that there is more to do in this new "Expansion" (game is standalone) then what I have seen of King of Tokyo.
My friends instantly loved the art style of the monsters and the "clever" names that came with them.
I hope this encourages many to consider this purchase as I believe it is fun for adults and children alike. Something about being a large monster who can either terrorize new york or perhaps be its "hero" is appealing to all audiences.
