KING OF TOKYO: DUEL - Wenn die Nacht über Tokio hereinbricht, erheben sich zwei gewaltige Silhouetten aus dem Rauch, der von zerstörten Wolkenkratzern aufsteigt. Es kann nur einen geben, der zum König von Tokio gekrönt wird – entweder indem er seinen Rivalen vernichtet oder indem er Angst und Ehrfurcht bei den Massen hervorruft.
The two-player tug-of-war over Tokyo is way more tense than the multiplayer version, since every card you buy feels like a real tradeoff. The artwork on the monster boards is gorgeous too. My game group keeps requesting rematches.
The tug-of-war scoring in this two-player version keeps every round tense right down to the final dice roll. Plays in about 30 minutes, which is perfect for when you only have one friend over.
Picked this up to settle game nights with just my wife, and the tug-of-war over who holds Tokyo is way tenser than our old back-and-forth games. Having only two silhouettes rising from the smoke keeps every turn meaningful, no downtime. We've played it four nights straight now.
