In my country (Indonesia), boardgaming is something that not every people knows. So, to convince and attract people i needed Boardgame that easy to play, and can played by more than 4 players. And King of Tokyo is my best answer. The theme is right on time, people talk alot about jagger and kaijuu at that time (because impact of Pasific Rim, well, I bought this wonderfull game after i watched that movie).

So when I introduce this game to my friends, they’re so excited and ask me where did i get this game. A lot of Indoensian people doesn’t have knowledge that there was a thousands boardgame out there (only monopoly that was populer, here)

The Rule is simple, so common people can easily understand.
The Winner is choosen by the first who get 20 victory point or the one who still alive as the last monster.

The customed dice is awsome, indonesian people only know if dice only contain a number from 1-6, but here we have claw, heart, energy in the side of dice. The other components is also nice, 6 monster figures. My Friends often called it as Kaijuu (Pasific Rim euforia -,-)

Each player must struggle between each other to determine who is the toughest and strongest to claim the title of King of Tokyo

Its rare to see a firefigther do their job in real life, so this game is something can turn on some vision how they work.
Before i played this game, i read a manga “FireFighter Daigo” it has a great story, how the main character act to rescue as many as victim as he can.

In flash point i can finally understand how hard the challenge when we have to rescue someone, sometimes we find fake alarms sometimes a real victims but in bad location.
I can also find how the empty room when fiiled with smoke can turns to be fire soon or later.

I played the game 3x this month with my friends, last game was on friday. Usually we play with Veteran difficulty, altough we often lose than win, lol. Well, on last game we try to level up the difficulty to Heroic and yes it two times harder than Veteran, but it also become more interesting. In the end we lose, the building collapsed.

We’ll spend a great time to try to win the Heroic level
