Board games are like books in that they often live or die by their cover, but King of Tokyo won't ever struggle in that regard. It's a splashy cartoon featuring some of the weirdest kaiju you've ever seen, and that's a good barometer for the experience inside. This is a wild – and thoroughly enjoyable – ride, particularly if you're playing with family or your kids.
Designed by industry legend Richard Garfield (the man behind some of the best board games, not to mention a few of the best card games), King of Tokyo is as close to a must-have as you can get.
