Towers
The King Kong Monster Pack adds new elements to the game: Tokyo Tower for King of Tokyo and the Empire State Building for King of New York! When you decide to play with one of these two towers, you will need to assemble them. Place each level near the game board; they are each different but work in the same way.
- When a Monster claims a level, he always starts on the bottom level. If he already controls the bottom level, he claims the next level. And if he already controls the bottom two levels and claims the top level, he automatically wins the game.
- If another Monster controls the level you are claiming, you seize control. If you control the bottom two levels and another Monster claims the bottom level, you keep the middle level.
- Monsters who control one or more levels gain the bonuses at the beginning of their turn: 1 health for the bottom level, 1 health and 1 energy for the middle level (the bonuses are cumulative).
Tokyo Tower
To claim a level of Tokyo Tower, a Monster must be in Tokyo and roll at least four 1s. He claims the level and applies the normal dice effects.
The Empire State Building
To claim a level of the Empire State Building, a Monster must be in Manhattan and roll at least four skulls (Attack faces). He claims the level and applies the normal dice effects.
Transcriber note: the printed tower requirements are shown as four dice-face icons each. The Tokyo Tower icons are four green 1 faces; the Empire State Building icons are four green skull faces, rendered here as Attack faces.
Evolution Cards
The Evolution cards let you play King of Tokyo and King of New York with supercharged Monsters! King Kong's Evolutions work like the Evolutions in King of Tokyo: Power Up! and King of New York: Power Up!
To play with King Kong's Evolutions, you need the Power Up! expansion for whichever base game you have.
Beauty Card
One of King Kong's Evolutions introduces the Beauty card, which has two sides that have different effects according to which Monster owns the card. Place the card aside until the Evolution card It Was Beauty Killed the Beast is played. If the Monster with the Beauty card is eliminated, return the card to King Kong, King Kong side up. If King Kong is eliminated, the Beauty card is removed from the game.
Protected Beauty (King Kong side)
King Kong – You get 1 extra die. When a Monster makes you lose health with attack, give them this card, Other Monsters side up.
Captured Beauty (Other Monsters side)
Other Monsters – When a Monster makes you lose health with attack, give the this card, Other Monsters side up. If that Monster is King Kong, give him this card, King Kong side up.
Transcriber note: the printed Other Monsters text reads "give the this card" in the first line; it is transcribed as printed. The card's wording is taken from the enlarged card art on the rulebook's Beauty card page, where the text is small.
