## Description
The most famous gorilla in cinema history has arrived to make the brawls in King of Tokyo and King of New York even more intense! The King Kong Monster Pack isn't just another character for your collection; it brings that classic monster movie vibe straight to your tabletop. The pack includes two iconic components that shift the board dynamics: the Tokyo Tower for the original game and the Empire State Building for the New York version. 

Beyond being a new monster for you to roll dice and cause mayhem with, King Kong comes with his own set of Evolution cards. If you already own the 'Power Up!' expansion for either base game, you can supercharge Kong with special abilities that turn him into a true engine of destruction. One of the highlights is the 'Beauty' card, which introduces an interesting dual-sided mechanic, altering effects based on who holds the card. It's the perfect addition for those who love the base game and want to spice up their monster roster, adding a touch of nostalgia and extra strategy to your sessions. Get ready to climb those buildings and show everyone who the real king of the city is!
