    I love watching you guys play. You're so kind to each other and polite - friendly competition, nothing nasty. I've played games before where people don't tell you all the rules or don't support you when you're learning - it's nice to watch you interact as a group, but also a good way to work out whether each game is my type. Huge props to you all!

    For the past month on game nights my friends and I have played no elimination upon death. To make up for that, a player who dies comes back with full health, but loses half their victory points and energy rounded up and all their keep cards. And whenever a player kills another they gain 2 VP. Thus, the only way to win is to gain 20 VP (but we usually play 30). This has made for some really fun and close games with nobody having to sit there and watch, with however, a severe penalty for dying. Games then last anywhere from 20-50 min with this system.

    +Aron Forch It has a child is one of the best cards in the game. You pay 7 for the ability to come back with full health. You lose all your cards and victory points though. Your variant is a free and better It has a child upon death. It sounds strange to me. If you want to eliminate death you can put counters on your monster for each damage below zero it took, and put your monster on non-active. Then on your turn only hearts work, and allow you to become active again, if you reach back up to a hp above 0. Non-active monsters can't attack, gain victory points, buy cards or gain energy. But they also 'feign death' so they don't take damage from Tokyo attacks.

    As indispensable as your reviews and ratings are, this is the best step I could imagine for educating people about specific board games. I can foresee games like King of Tokyo flying off the shelves immediately following every GameNight. Would I have looked twice at KoT at the game store? Nope. Am I running out the door to pick one up as a Christmas present....you betcha! The question is, will you be taking requests for which game to play next?

    (Never seen ya'll before) I watched all the way through and enjoyed it allot! I loved how Aaron and Dave were very into it hovering over the table while Lincoln and Nikki were chill and laid back. Also, I thought it was funny that even though it was a single victor game both sides of the table somewhat formed teams (advising each other) and everyone at the table were supportive and helping to each other. Very fun loving and great sports when eliminated or damages badly. Can't wait for Ep 2!

    If an attack somehow ends up doing no damage (due to Camouflage for example), then it is no longer considered an attack for the purposes of cards like Poison Spit or Herbivore. He should not have left tokyo when he had one life, because it was not an attack anymore, since his card ignored the damage.

    I'm not sure if I correctly understand how to start the game from the rulebook. I have three possibilities: 1) The first player MUST enter Tokyo BEFORE he rolls dice - which you @BoardGameGeekTV didn't do in the video -. 2) The first player rolls dice before going into Tokyo, but he MUST go into Tokyo after resolving dice, even if he got no claws. If he got claws, they're useless, they don't harm any monster. 3) The first player rolls dice outside Tokyo. After resolving dice, if he got no claws, then the next player MUST go into Tokyo before rolling dice. But, if the first player got claws, he MUST go into Tokyo. What is the right way? I bet option 2 is the right one, but I'm not sure. In the rulebook, you can find these following texts, but I don't think they are very clear: 1) "Since no Monster starts the game in Tokyo, the Monster who plays first does not cause Monsters to lose with " 2) "If no one is in Tokyo, you must enter and place your Monster in Tokyo City." 3) "No Monster starts the game in Tokyo. The first player must enter Tokyo City during this step."

    He rolled a claw on the first or second roll but re-rolled and got two non-claw dice. Therefore, by the end of the third roll he had no claws which means he did not _resolve_ a claw. The first person to resolve a claw after the game begins is the first player to move into Tokyo.
