Thread: King of Tokyo:: Rules:: Shrink Ray card

Card states: "when you deal damage to Monsters, give them a shrink counter. A monster rolls one less die for each shrink counter...etc"

To me this means that for every hit, you get that many shrink counters. 3 hits = 3 shrink counters. Our game tonight one monster had 6 counters, therefore could not roll any dice to try to get hearts which remove counters and therefore was knocked out. Am I interpreting the card correctly?

Thanks for your opinions,
Amy

I read it as a binary:

If you dealt (any) damage to a monster, give him or her 1 shrink counter.

This is correct.

I recently purchased an extra copy of King of Tokyo and Power Up! off of Ebay, mostly just incase I ever needed replacement parts in the future...

Then I got to thinking of how fun it would be to have mirror matches: Gigazaur vs Gigazaur!

My question is - could anyone lead me in the right direction of how I could customize or alter the colors of my second set of Monsters (Stand and Tracker) without it looking...well...horrible?

My ideas for the alternates:

Gigazaur - Red skin, yellow eyes, black spikes.

King - White fur, White eye, Same Face, Blue Cyborg Eye.

Cyber Bunny - Baby Blue Suit with Royal Blue Chest/Gloves, Red Eyes

Meka Dragon - Silver, Gray Eyes

Alienoid - Same Green Body - Orange Space Suite

Kraken - Teal/Turquoise, Black Eyes

Pandakai - Same fur, Purple outfit.


It would add a lot more options to the game and more variety...and would just look super cool if done right - I know there might be some really creative and/or artistic people out there so let me know! Thanks in advance

You're mistaken. The card would be insanely powerful if it worked that way.

All claws are resolved simultaneously, not one at a time. (There are also other cards where this distinction is relevant.) So, with three claws you are still dealing damage only once, and give one shrink counter.

Great! I was hoping that was true. I was bowing to my daughter who interpreted it as that, seeing that she was the one dealing out the nasty counters. She won the game. She will be quite bummed to find out Mom was right.

Thanks guys,
Amy

The rules I have, in the "Glossary" section, under the "Attack/Attacking Monster" heading, expressly states that "A monster is considered attacking when it has at least one [attack die], otherwise it is not attacking."

Also: "If a card deals damage when purchased (like Gas Refinery), this is not considered an attack."

Seems to pretty much cover all the bases.

Apropos of nothing, my version of the game has renamed this card into "Death from Above".

Spend 2 energy and avoid damage for a turn.

What does "a turn" mean in this context?

My interpretation in our game today was that it means "until the Wings player's next turn".

But I'm not sure. Any thoughts.

True story. It's probably one of the strongest cards. Some would say it's "broken".

So what damage does it allow you to avoid, then? If it's your turn, you're not being attacked.

Let's say you're playing a 4p game and have wings. You go into Tokyo so now there are three players set to damage you on their turns.
Player 1 attacks and does damage, you may spend 2 energy to avoid damage on his turn. Further, if anyone played something to cause you damage on Player 1's turn, that damage is also avoided.
Player 2 plays a card that deals damage to you on Player 2's turn. You may spend an additional 2 energy to avoid all damage on Player 2's turn in the same fashion as you did with Player 1.
So, in this example, if you were to have 6 energy at the end of your turn you could spend it (turn by turn) and the other 3 players could not damage you. Wings are very powerful, especially if you're good at banking energy or in later stages when there are fewer players to defend against.

*edit - my typing skills are horrible before my morning coffee :D

My reading of the rules suggests to me that cards can only be played on your own turn, unless the card specifically states otherwise. So it wouldn't have occurred to me that you could play Wings on someone else's turn.

Discard cards must be used immediately when they are bought. Keep cards are used whenever the situation on them described is called for.

I could see that, makes sense. I'm not one to play this enough to memorize it, so I can only think of the card 'psychic something-or-other' that forces another player to re-roll as an example of one that could only work on another player's turn.

I really do love KoT, but it can produce some head scratchers when interpreting the cards sometimes. But then again, that is not uncommon to card games in general.

Maybe the right answer is: We are not given enough information on the card to be sure what the right answer is.

or...

Maybe the right answer is (quote from IELLO Support Center):


King of Tokyo Card: Burrowing

Cost: 5 Energy.
Type: Keep.
Text: "Deal 1 extra damage on Tokyo. Deal 1 damage when yielding Tokyo to the monster taking it."
- You deal 1 extra damage when you are in Tokyo.
- You deal 1 damage when you yield Tokyo to the monster attacking you.

In a way this makes the most sense - it's a typo. "On" when it should be "in".
