Richard Garfield's King of Tokyo is my favorite dice drafting game, as well it should be! King of Tokyo provides a rich game play experience, minutes to learn and a lifetime to master. It's the winner of several awards, including:
- Best Family Game 2011 from The Dice Tower
- The Dice Tower Seal of Excellence
- 2012 Golden Geek
- Best Children's Game from Board Game Geek
- Best Family Game from Board Game Geek
- Best Party Game from Board Game Geek
Those are just what are printed on the box! There are a total of 19 awards listed on King of Tokyo's Board Game Geek Page.
One of the things that drew me to King of Tokyo in the first place was the box art. A giant lizard holding part of a skyscraper, a gorilla with cybernetic enhancements, and a massive rabbit robot with an energy sword. Everything about this box art screams "there is fun to be had here".
