I think its a great game as well and my boys love this game too. However i think there my be a flaw with this system of one point not giving up the city.
Lets look at a 4 player game. This is a plausible situation and one i just saw last weekend, but with out the 1 point system. Player 1 takes the city and gets one point. now the other 3 players are trying to get some health back since the last monster just unleashed damage on them before player 1 took it, who by the way just healed 3 from the dice, and 2 from a card before they were crowned city ruler. So player 2 thru 4 are healing but each on their last roll give one damage.
Player 1 holds and gains 1 point per and 2 points at the start of their turn. That's 6 points(1 taking it + 3 staying + 2 starting turn)in one turn and for only 3 points of damage as well. So player one just again unleashes damage. The players get caught in a meat grinder making the choice to either try and take Tokyo with low health or heal up.
Now this is only based on how i have seen my buddies play and their tactics. Other groups my play this engine different.
