Who it's for

Two players who enjoy dice-chucking monster games with quick, high-swing sessions and a giant-monster theme.

Not for you if…

You want a game for more than two players; this is a dedicated duel format, not the multiplayer free-for-all of the original King of Tokyo.

🦊

Vibe's take

Swingy and tense: every dice roll can yank the token track back in your favor or against you, so momentum never feels safe until the very end.

About this game

King of Tokyo: Duel condenses the King of Tokyo dice-chucking monster brawl into a tight two-player format built around a tug-of-war token track. Pick your uniquely-powered monster, roll dice to pull fame and destruction tokens toward your side, and unleash special power cards to smash your rival before they crown themselves King of Tokyo.
