About the game

What you do in a play session

Get ready for more mayhem in Tokyo (or New York!), because Anubis has arrived to stir things up! Legend has it he appeared after someone accidentally stepped on a sarcophagus in a museum – classic! Now, the God of the Dead is furious and seeking vengeance, showering curses your way. This expansion introduces Anubis to the game, a brand-new monster with its own unique abilities to shake up the board. And the coolest part: it comes with the Die of Fate, a new component that can be used in any King of Tokyo or King of New York game, even without Anubis or the Evolution cards. This die adds an extra layer of surprise and can alter the course of the game in unexpected ways. If you enjoy rolling dice, pushing your luck, and watching giant monsters battle it out, this expansion is a must-have. It integrates seamlessly with the base game and other expansions, ensuring your city-smashing sessions are even more chaotic and fun. It's a great addition for those looking to diversify their monster roster and experience a new mechanic with the Die of Fate, which can be a game-changer or a curse upon yourself!

Frequently Asked Questions

Quick answers before you buy

6 questions
Do I need the King of Tokyo or King of New York base game to play with Anubis?
Yes, absolutely! This is an expansion, so you'll need one of the base games to use Anubis and its new mechanics.
Does the Die of Fate work on its own or only with Anubis?
The good news is that the Die of Fate can be used in any King of Tokyo or King of New York game, even if you're not playing with Anubis or the Evolution cards. It's a bonus for everyone!
How many players does this expansion support?
The expansion itself doesn't change the player count. You continue playing with the same number of people supported by your base game (King of Tokyo or King of New York), which is typically 2 to 6 players.
Does the game's complexity increase significantly with this expansion?
The complexity is quite low. Anubis has its own rules, and the Die of Fate adds an element of luck, but the game's core remains dice rolling and quick decision-making, maintaining accessibility.
What comes in the box besides Anubis?
Besides Anubis's miniature and player board, the highlights are the Die of Fate and its accompanying curse cards, along with potential evolution cards specific to him.
Does this expansion introduce any new mechanics besides the Die of Fate?
The main new mechanic is the Die of Fate, which brings a 'luck or misfortune' element with curses. Anubis itself brings its own unique abilities that integrate with the base game's combat and movement rules.
