Reply: King of Tokyo:: Rules:: Re: [First BGG Post] Newbie Questions... Any and all input would be appreciated.

It helps if you post the card text that you have questions about. I don't have my cards with me, but I'll make an effort at answering.

Hello,

My play group is having a couple of rules questions we can't get solid footing on, and was hoping some of your more knowledgeable folks can help us out. Thanks! :)

1) Cards Such as Alpha monster and Poison Spit do things such as add victory points or tokens based on attack.. after the third roll and I have multiple claws, is that considered "X" number of attacks which would trigger multiple VP's or Acid Tokens, or a single attack yielding "X" damage, and then one VP for alpha monster or poison spit.

I believe you only get one VP or poison counter.

2) Telepath: Can I use a energy token to force singular die rerolls of an opponents die/dice, or is the ability only to be used on my turn only?

I believe Telepath allows you to reroll an opponent's die, but I might be thinking of a different card.

3)Mimic: When putting Mimic into play, do I get to play a Mimic token immediately without paying a power cube, or does the first Mimic require a power cube investment?

Once again, without the card text handy, I think you get to place the token immediately.

4)Beginning the game: When first player rolls his dice, when do you check for "claws" to take Tokyo? If I get a claw on my first roll, does that put me in Tokyo, and I re-roll all the dice for the second or third rolls, or is it all resolved after the third roll, and then the damage is negated?

You don't enter Tokyo until you are resolving the dice, so after all rerolls.

If I messed up any of those card questions, I'm sure someone else will be along shortly to correct me.
