About the game
Hey everyone! Ready to save Earth from a colossal invasion? In Kaikoro, things get serious: five gigantic Kaijus are coming full force to destroy the last remaining city. The mission is yours! You'll roll dice to attack these beasts, trying to chain plays for maximum damage. Each successful attack can yield precious resources, which you can use to boost your defenses, gain extra points, or launch a special attack. But beware! After your turn, the Kaijus might advance, and if they reach the city, destruction is certain. It's a game that mixes dice rolling with a touch of 'push your luck' – will you risk another round for that killer combo or secure the points you already have? The game is perfect for those who enjoy a tense solo experience, but it also works well with friends, each fighting their own battle against the monsters. With a 'paper-and-pencil' system and a focus on creating attack chains, Kaikoro is a race against time and impending destruction. Get your printer ready, because this print & play will put you on the front lines of the battle!
