Description

**Monster Pack – Cthulhu** enhances *King of Tokyo* and *King of New York* with thematic Cthulhu content, including a new monster, evolution cards, and cultist elements for strategic bonuses. Key mechanics include: - *New Monster*: Cthulhu added specifically for *King of Tokyo*. - *Evolution Cards*: Eight cards provided for integration with *King of Tokyo* and another eight for *King of New York*. - *Cultist Tiles/Tokens*: Fifteen tokens (doubling as Temple of Cthulhu) for *King of New York*; tiles for *King of Tokyo* grant bonus effects upon acquisition. - *Bonus Acquisition*: Defeating a Cultist yields a tile usable once for 1 life, 1 energy, or 1 extra roll. - *Expanded Combat*: Introduces new units and buildings in *King of New York* to fight over. Monster Pack – Cthulhu is an expansion compatible with both *King of Tokyo* and *King of New York*, introducing the titular Cthulhu as a new monster playable in *King of Tokyo*, alongside eight evolution cards for each game to modify monster abilities. It incorporates cultist tiles in *King of Tokyo*, which players obtain to trigger a one-time bonus effect, and for *King of New York*, provides fifteen cultist tokens functioning as Temple of Cthulhu, plus new units and buildings that expand battlefield control and objectives. Central to gameplay, defeating a Cultist allows players to claim its tile and activate it once for gaining 1 life, 1 energy, or 1 extra roll, adding layers of tactical decision-making around combat, resource management, and opportunistic rewards.
