King of Tokyo - Shut Up & Sit Down Review 

A man of fine taste :)

they dropped cyberbunny?! wtf! that's my favourite!

Cyber Bunny was everyone's favourite. The Devs are cray.

It way copyrighted I think

Yep which is why I bought the Dark Edition, it has Cyber Bunny AND the Krahken. Which are far superior than their replacements. They're back in the game!

"People die when they are killed"

I'd call that technically true... But this isn't the sort of game I would use that sentence for. Games like fishbowl, and dixit are at the MERCY of the sort of people you play with. This game is quite a bit more forgiving of who you play it with compared to the games that require the players to come up with the content.

I agree, points rolling Is mega powerful

You're going to be in trouble if you ever get audited.

how many? personally, I think it's good for about 10 matches.

We probably played around 10 in one sitting at some point. Can't say I was counting for the total. If it's not for you then it's not for you but me and my friends absolutely loved it.

I didn't say it wasn't for me. "good for 10 matches" is a solid game. I loved it too. but after you get over the discovery phase, the game comes down more to luck of the roll and of the cards that come up rather than skill.

This is a bit of an imagination base game. Part of the fun is watching your monster evolve over the game and giving it personality. The other thing is it is not designed to be a "git gud" type of game where a person who has played for hours is far ahead of the learning curve. Also throwing and selecting and re-throwing dice is not as random as just throwing dice, just as player elimination is not always bad in games. This game intensifies and speeds up with less players and no one is going out early so by the time people do go out the game is mature enough to end. The quickest I saw someone get taken out was when my group hit me for seven in two players, and I basically was struggling to keep my head above water the rest of the game. I still was in for all but the latest of game. The problem I had was I was not investing enough into keeping hearts over power and so was getting hit a bit from people in Tokyo or would end up in Tokyo at five life instead of seven. Now a days I would just select hearts to keep and stay out of Tokyo by not keeping damage. And even if my last roll was damage, I'd probably not take Tokyo with one damage or if I did, would get out also with a light thrashing as *no one* is going to kill you in one roll unless already in later game with cards or you are in Tokyo with low health and they are a jerk. But then if they are able to roll well enough to kill, then that sort of removes the whole "chucking dice" argument.

It felt the same for me but only played twice. Didn´t feel the excitement. Just rolling dice and making mostly easy decisions based on the result. Sure from time to time you have kind of exciting roles and everyone is engaged in what is going to happen. That wasn´t enough for me though and it also way overstayed it´s welcome by going over 35 minutes.

It was his very first review, I believe. Possibly on his worst, yes:P but hey

Yes, you can mix the monsters to play in either game without needing the expansion.

I agree, King of New York is much more popular with my gaming group. We think it's the better game 😁

@@nateiverson8681 Same here. When I bought KoNY, one of my m8s said I should have bought Tokyo instead... then my cousin went to actually play Tokyo and was wondering why he wasn't playing NY instead. Thing is. Sure Tokyo is easier, but NY is an easy game still and it just adds that bit more theme that tokyo is lacking. You are actually destroying things and the people are fighting back.

Can I use KoT first edition monsters with KoNY right out of the box? I live in Staten Island so I'd love to get KoNY eventually, but the monster art just doesn't appeal to me as much as from KoT first edition.

Wookien it’s fast paced, easy to pick up, and fun.

Oh boy, a game of giant monsters fighting for a city! How do they fight? Why by rolling dice and if they get what they need then they do stuff, and if they don't then you don't have fun! :DDDD Game design/10, would design again.

TheKiltedKraut this video is originally from 2013, this is just a reupload

Julio Solís Why do that when you could have shown the new version of the game and simply compared it to the old version...clearly showing the differences?!? Re-uploading an old video is rather "low hanging fruit"...and simply supports what I said about setting the bar low. I enjoy the vast majority of reviews and playthroughs that this channel produces...but frankly this re-upload is a bit of a disappointment.

chill out dude. this is the FIRST time that this game is being uploaded to youtube. making videos is a laborious and time consuming process. uploading a vimeo video is something they can do for us that takes very little effort, and that it why we are getting so many videos from them recently. They haven't stopped making new videos, and the uploads isn't getting in the way of the production of the new ones.

weesh ful Well *NOT* according to Julio (if you bothered to read his reply to my original post). According to him...this is a re-upload of an old video. You don't need to tell me about what all is involved when it comes to recording and editing videos. I've been working in the video production industry probably longer than you've been alive. You want to talk about "laboris and time consuming"... try doing an A/B roll with dual 1 inch tape decks while making sure your audio stays synchronized. I've done that hundreds of times!

Old version's art is sooooo much better, I feel, but other then that there is no difference.
