Evolution cards give you a new way to
play King of New York, and to play with
your King of New York Monsters in King
of Tokyo.

Take the Evolution cards that corres-
pond to the game you want to play,
King of Tokyo (white border) or King of
New York (black border). The others are
left in the box.

SET UP

Take the 8 Evolution cards belonging to
your Monster, shuffle them, and make a
deck that you put in front of yourself.
Each Monster begins with an Evolution.
Draw 2 cards and choose one of them.
Keep the chosen card in your hand (wit-
hout showing it). Shuffle the other card
into your deck.

HOW TO EVOLVE?

When a Monster gets at least
with his Roll, he draws 2 Evolution card,
keeps 1 in his hand without showing it,
and discards the other.

Note: This is not a cost, but rather
a bonus. You can still use the dice
to heal (if you're not in Manhattan
or Tokyo) or for the effect of a Keep
or another Evolution card. Being in
Manhattan or Tokyo doesn't stop you
from drawing Evolution cards.

If the deck is empty, reshuffle your dis-
carded cards to make a new deck.

Keep your Evolutions in hand until you
decide to play them, which can be even
during another player's turn if the card's
effect doesn't specify when to play it.

EVOLUTIONS

There are two types of Evolutions:

• Temporary Evolutions: Discard
them after use.

• Permanent Evolutions: Play them
face-up in front of you. You bene-
fit from their effect as long as they
remain in play.

Note: When a base game card or an
Evolution card refers to a "card" with
no clarification, it does not apply to
Evolutions.

VARIANTS
This variant let you approach Power Up!
in a more competitive way.

MUTANT EVOLUTIONS
• Shuffle the Evolutions of the Monsters
in play and deal eight Evolutions to
each player (they can therefore belong
to any Monster).
• Players simultaneously choose an
Evolution and play it face-down in
front of themselves, then pass the
other Evolutions to the player on their
left. Everyone looks at the 7 Evolutions
they just received, chooses one, and
passes the remaining 6 to the player
on their left. Repeat this action until
everyone has eight Evolutions.
• Each player shuffles their Evolutions
and makes a deck face-down in front
of themselves.
