At the right price sounds likea good buy for two player. Nice review. Those house rules are coming to my table for sure. We once try that each cube worth the doble, was a crazy game with so many cards, but very fun one.
My buddy and I love this version of King of Tokyo. We played a lot of the old version when we had more folks in our game group, but that has become just us two now. So we started looking at two player only games. And yeah this is one of those, play a best out of 3 match in about 30 minutes to an hour.
Haha, I read the title as Best Tug-O-War, thought "No way, that can't be true! Must be some sort of bait.". Then re-read the title when started the video. "Oh, beast, ah nice one!" I'm also going to include those house rules for whenever I play the regular King of Tokyo. I do like how all the monsters have different life points and unique powers. I do like the art style quite a bit more here as well compared to the original. But I don't know how often this would get to the table and if it is worth the price. I'll have to give it a think.
Nice review. I somehow managed to play OG KoT 2player. Not sure if I got the rules wrong or something, but we had a blast playing. Another good one to play with your nephew would be unmatched. Setup possibly faster as well. Its a game that scales with skill and familiarity, but can easily be played just as a brawl and a laugh without much else. But, can also be played at high competitive levels with ooodles of tactics and strat. As for this KoT duel...personally i think I'll pass...but, if I see in a boardgame store, I'll defo give it a whirl!! Thanks again Luke!
You can play the original with only two players. It works a bit better at 3-4 at least whenever I've played. Since being in Tokyo is not as taxing at a lower player count. One has to be even more brave/lucky to stay in Tokyo with five or six players.

I like Cyber Kitty in the original game 😸

I like your 1-10 visual scale of what the numbers mean - 1 - Garbage 😂
Needs decimals. 1.5, 6.23... way more helpful.
Lol, never decimals, they drive me nuts. Decimals are for the indecisive or those who want to make their ratings sound more credible.
I have only played King of Tokyo once at 2 players and it was lame. I never played it again... so I won't be trying this version.
You should try Patchwork. So not lame.
That's the reason to try it, you've got it backwards.
Interestingly, the art on the cards don’t match with the art on the rest of the game
Great review you should check King Of Monster Island
I did, too much going on and fiddly.
