I disagree. Yes, the game is better with more players...but...King of Tokyo works perfectly as a 2 player if you take the time to create a variant that works for you!
Here is what my wife and I are employing now in a 2 player game, and it seems more balanced:
You receive NO VICTORY POINTS when you enter Tokyo.
You receive 1 POINT each turn.
Thus, it takes longer for you to amass points for the win while taking enough damage to encourage you to vacate the spot.
I just tried this method and the game lasted for the typical 15-20 minutes and there were 7 cards played. Not bad at all!
It doesn't work at all if you follow the normal rules!
