King of Tokyo – non-gamer variant

Hi,

Last weekend we introduced Kind of Tokyo to a bunch of non-gamers – real non-gamers – the kind who say they don’t like to play games because they require you to think.

I knew the cards would be too much, so we ditched those. I also knew they’d have a lot of fun with just the combat portion so we changed the rules as follows :

- No cards
- Collect gems as per the normal rules
- In your turn you can use any or all the gems you’ve collected at the end of your turn to create additional hits (cost : 2 gems / hit) or to gain life-points when not in Tokyo (cost : 2 gems / life-point)

It played surprisingly well and everybody had a great time just fighting each other
