King of Tokyo: Power Up!

Description

--- "King of Tokyo: Power Up!" is an expansion adding Evolution cards and Pandakai monster, enabling personal decks for temporary/permanent powers drawn via hearts. Key mechanics include: - *Evolution decks* Each player shuffles eight monster-specific Evolution cards into a personal deck after selection. - *Heart-triggered draws* At turn's end, draw one Evolution card with three hearts, usable even in Tokyo or for other actions. - *Card play flexibility* Reveal and play Evolutions anytime; temporary for one-time bonuses, permanent like Gigazaur's "Tail Sweep" altering dice. - *Species classification* Cards designate Mutant, Invader, or Robot, for potential future expansions. - *Setup variants* Options include starting with random Evolution, drawing/choosing from two, or drafting Evolutions. - *New monster* Pandakai, a giant panda bear, with its own Evolution set. King of Tokyo: Power Up! expands the base game with the new Pandakai monster and introduces personal Evolution decks: players shuffle eight cards per monster, drawing one at turn's end if holding three hearts—effective regardless of Tokyo status or heart usage for healing/other actions. Evolutions deploy anytime, offering temporary one-time bonuses or permanent abilities, such as Gigazaur's "Tail Sweep" to reroll a die to 1 or 2 each turn; cards also classify monsters as Mutant, Invader, or Robot for future compatibility. Variants enhance setup via random starts, choice from two draws, or drafting, while preserving core goals of reaching 20 points or outlasting rivals in Tokyo's ruins. ---
