Wait, when you attack, do you have to take Tokyo? Or only have to take it if Tokyo is empty?
If you attack, and the monster in Tokyo yields, you must take Tokyo. If they do not yield, you do not take Tokyo. If it is empty, you must enter Tokyo.
While i can see this as being the case, the only problem i have is with the wording on this. The rules state if u are attacked while in tokyo and u dont want to be there anymore (and who can blame u - it can be rough!) u can yeld to the monster that attacked. U still take the damage however.
The very next paragraph says
If u are eliminated while in tokyo, the monster who has eliminated u automatically takes control of tokyo.
Now, here are the issues I have where it can be a little confusing. After the part about yielding it doesn't say the attacking monster takes the spot in tokyo. The next paragraph only mentions is when talking about elimination. To me elimination means death, out of the game. Not to mention that it was a new paragraph meaning a new thought. If it were to be meant as a continuation of the preceding thought it wouldn't have been broken up into a new paragraph. Maybe I'm reading too much into it but the idea remains the same. Eliminated is the word that makes me think that the attacking monster doesn't have to go into tokyo unless he killed it. Never forget that in the advanced rules for 5-6 players, when talking about elimination it's talking about a monster actually leaving the game therefore the implication is death. And I cant find anywhere in the rules that says Tokyo has to always be occupied.
