What is this 11 card expansion?

Not an expansion, I believe.

It's 11 promo cards.

They're now very hard to get hold of.
Not that hard anymore: you just have to come to a KOT tournament (as stated before, any FLGS can sign up for one - in the US and France for now, but soon in other countries too) or meet us at a major event. We'll be more than glad to give them to you. :)

As for Space Penguin, it doesn't come with Evolution cards because it's really a promo: we want it to be a cool bonus monster you're happy to get your hands on, without the people who don't feeling they're missing game-changing contents. I hope everyone understand this.


Having signs to indicate the precise conditions for getting the promos would have been a great help. Nobody told me at Origins when I came by the booth that the 11 cards were available for the asking. When I asked about the Space Penguin, I was told it was a prize for winning a TOURNAMENT, not a single game. I work for another company at both Origins and GenCon and never play in a tournament for any game because I never had more than 2-3 hours off at a time. I hope you understand my frustration.


Why didn't you introduce yourself at Origins?
You should have ask for me, I was there the all show and I was wearing a bright yellow t-shirt with my name on big letters on it: STEPHAN.
Next time you come to our booth, don't be so shy.
I am glad that beside all the bad things you have to say about us you still grace our booth with your presence.
See you at Gen Con? No hard feeling :-)


I like several of your games actually and mentioned the company when I did a preview on GenCon 2012 for The Herald Bulletin, the newspaper where I work in a city less than a hour's drive from Indy.

But I thought the person working in the area where people were playing KoT would know how to get the promos so I took their answer as being the truth. I wish you well with that game and with your version of Innovation. which looked amazing when I saw it at your booth. But a very big pet peeve of mine is promos that are never made available to fans of a game after a time of being available in promotional form.



I remember your article in the Indy newspaper. I still have a copy that you gave me.

The minimum size for a King of Tokyo tournament is 5 players so all the games played at Origins qualified.

My invitation to stop by at Gen Con is still standing. I will be esay to spot... Your call :-)


I will definitely stop by and say hello. I honestly hope you have a good show. I would like to talk to you about being one of the companies I will include in my reviews.
