How to Play King of New York: Power Up!

Objective of the Game

In King of New York: Power Up!, the struggle for Manhattan has leveled up! Monsters are evolving and now benefit from new powers. Players are trying to evolve their monsters and use new powers to win. The game introduces a new champion, Mega Shark, and Evolution cards that provide new ways to play.

Preparation (Setup)

1. Take the Evolution cards that correspond to the game you want to play. For King of New York, use the cards with a black border. The others are left in the box.
2. Take the 8 Evolution cards belonging to your Monster, shuffle them, and make a deck that you put in front of yourself.
3. Each Monster begins with an Evolution. Draw 2 cards from your deck and choose one of them. Keep the chosen card in your hand (without showing it). Shuffle the other card into your deck.
4. If playing with Mega Shark, use its monster board and cardboard figure + stand.

Variants

Mutant Evolutions

This variant offers a more competitive approach to Power Up!:

1. Shuffle the Evolutions of all Monsters in play and deal eight Evolutions to each player (these can therefore belong to any Monster).
2. 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.
3. Everyone looks at the 7 Evolutions they just received, chooses one, and passes the remaining 6 to the player on their left.
4. Repeat this action until everyone has eight Evolutions.
5. Each player shuffles their Evolutions and makes a deck face-down in front of themselves.

Ações e Como Jogar

How to Evolve?

When a Monster gets at least with their Roll, they draw 2 Evolution cards, keep 1 in their hand without showing it, and discard the other.

• 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 your Evolution card deck is empty, reshuffle your discarded cards to make a new deck.

Evolutions

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

There are two types of Evolutions:

• Temporary Evolutions: Discard them after use.
• Permanent Evolutions: Play them face-up in front of you. You benefit 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.

Details of Evolution Cards

• NAME OF THE MONSTER: Shows to which Monster this Evolution belongs.
• TYPE OF EVOLUTION: An Evolution can be Temporary or Permanent.
• NAME AND EFFECT OF THE EVOLUTION: Describes what the Evolution does. For example, WHITE DEATH (a Permanent Evolution for Mega Shark) states: "Play with 1 extra die. You cannot win with your ★."
• SPECIES: Whether Mutant, Invader, or Robot, each Monster belongs to a species. These are used with tournament variants and future expansions.
