This question was discussed at great lenght in my gaming group.In my opinion, both are hardly comparable:
- King of New York feels deeper with more to think of and more thematic flavour - sometimes you destroy buildings and fleethe district, sometimes you try to roll as many skulls as possible to hurt every monster, sometimes you might want to collect as many stars as possible (especially when being famous).
- King of Tokyo is a little more accessable for "non-ggek-gamers": try to collect paws for damage, numbers for points or lightnings for upgrades; in case of emergency try to get hearts - that's basically it. Straight forward , easy fun for a broad range of players without to many distractions.
