To some: Saying Yahtzee has strategy is like saying Blackjack has strategy. Of course it does, it just so happens to not be a very deep strategy. Enjoy it, don't enjoy it, but don't make ridiculous statements about the "amazing amount of depth" in Yahtzee.
I like this review. It's totally "trolling" to provoke a reaction, but it does echo (albeit more snarkily) my sentiments after two games. I think King of Tokyo wants to provide a different game experience every time, and in doing so, the card combinations can be abysmal and useless or crazy OP.
I love when people say "if you don't like randomness, you won't like this game." It's reverse-game-snobbery. Oh, you can only play "serious" games, and you just don't like King of Tokyo because you just don't know how to have fun. Well, actually, I enjoy a bit of randomness; it can provide a dynamic game environment. I think it would be better to say, "if you don't like unbalanced cards and no ways to mitigate luck (other than getting more lucky) you may hate this game."
