1. Marvelous review! I've been thinking of buying the King of Tokyo but I wanted to know more about KoNY and the new mechanics and I loved it! Love the complexity they added to the original concept of the game because at least for me, reading and watching several reviews about KoT it felt a little way too simple for my personal taste.
2. Which should I buy first? Or which should I play first? As they are cheap might buy both.
3. I don't understand why I can't comprehend the rules to this game
4. Da! 9:40 LOL :)
5. Ok, you guys did it. Sold me on 2 games in one review. Gonna get them both!
6. One problem that happens pretty often with King of Tokyo is that you get stuck with low life. Bad luck makes you not rolling any hearts and then it's just a question of time before you end up dead.
   In King of New York it feels like they fixed it. It is easier to heal since you can heal in another way too, by destroying certain buildings or troops.
   So I actually think it is easier to stay passive and alive in KoNY than in KoT.
   Both great games though.
7. can't you play play tokyo in new york? just use the new york cards and use the tokyo rules?
8. Your game reviews are my favorite! 
9. Noooooooooo!!!! I loved T-Rex, he was the most compassionate toy ever RIP. I'm convinced, kaiju are awesome. Looking for a "intermediate" gamer game that is still a good entryway game.
10. I do not own this game, and here is why 
    The most thing that I do not like about this game and It break its theme, that all monsters have the same HP, same dealing damage. 
    
    This can not be true, each monster shall have different HP depending on their size, skin, etc. 
    Same for damage dealing. Also there should be special power/effect for each monster, and a way that makes you able to upgrade your monster (upgrading can be one of special power)
    
    So I can imagine a big portion of the fun is gone when deciding which monster to play with because they all the same as I can see from this review and King of Tokyo review, and the game play will not differ by picking different monsters (correct me if I am wrong)
11. Thanks guys for the review. I'm new to both, so I'm thinking of starting with Tokyo and its two expansions and then New York later. Just curious, do you feel you could (or should) use all the cards/evolutions from Tokyo in this game, or are you better off keeping them separate (I know you said you could use the monsters, but they're more cosmetic).
    
    I assume since these monsters have no evolutions you'd have to stick to Tokyo monsters for now.
12. The cover of King of Tokyo is the same as mine, but the Monsters featured on the sides are different. Mine doesn't have Cyberbunny! Wonder if they change it up for different editions.
13. If you're new to the game, but you could buy one, which one would you choose?
14. C'mon.... King of New York is to King of Tokyo the same way AD&D was to D&D.
15. I have been tempted by King of New York, I got King of Tokyo, family loves it. I was looking for this review because you are one of the few reviewers I watch and trust other than seeing game play on Tabletop and apparently missed this review. This seals it for me, I have a coupon. Only hesitation is I am not sure if the family will be into the more aggressive aspect.
16. I have both, and I think that it is great to get both.
17. Thanks, just bought it for Christmas.
18. Mekadragon is still the champ!
19. does anybody else see a south park Canadian on the building destruct side of the dice?
20. So if you have neither game, would you by this one over KoT or would you buy both?
