King of New York - Tips & Strategies

So my girlfriend doesn’t like this game much because the player elimination in it can be at times quick and merciless. So we came up with a respawn rule.

When you die, you tip your standee over and discard all cards, energy, and power up cards you have. When your next turn comes around, reset your health to 10, stand your figure up, and end your turn immediately. This kept players from getting eliminated outright without giving them an advantage (in fact staying alive gives you a distinct advantage because you do not lose turns)

We are toying with a 1 star penalty when respawning while only recovering 5 hearts and if you have no stars and die you are eliminated as an alternative player elimination rule set as well.
