About the game

Godzilla Rising: Godzilla Rising is a special Crowdfunding Exclusive expansion that brings a new level of excitement to the game. Featuring the giant Godzilla figure and 2 Epic episodes, this expansion introduces fresh mechanics and challenges that will test even the most experienced players. Awakened from his slumber, the King of the Monsters' unpredictable fury and overwhelming destructive power can make him either an ally or a hindrance in the battle against the otherworldly forces, adding an extra layer of danger to Investigators, who must contend with Godzilla’s rampage. Regardless of who or what he targets, his mere presence could tip the balance against the cosmic forces. Let’s first talk about the kaiju in the room: the megature. Standing over 54.5 cm tall (about 21.45 in) and with a base of 43.8x45.2 cm (around 17.24x17.79 in), Godzilla is an epic sculpt, to say the least. In addition to being a masterpiece, it features a sculpted base that plays a key role in gameplay. Investigators must navigate different areas around the base to achieve their goals, while designated zones allow artillery figures to be placed and used throughout 2 Epic episodes - each exploring the consequences of Godzilla's presence in very different ways. Godzilla vs Cthulhu: In the Godzilla VS Cthulhu Epic Episode, the investigators and Godzilla must join forces against a common enemy of eldritch nature… Or rather, the investigators must aid Godzilla in any way they can while trying to survive the titan battle at the same time. The ritual succeeded, and cultists have managed to summon Cthulhu into our reality. Some will say Godzilla has risen as a protector of this world, while others believe it simply sensed a threat to its dominance over land and sea. Whatever the reason, what can mere humans do when facing two creatures of impossible might? Whatever their firepower can manage. Keep the cultists at bay and try to survive to see the end of the battle! This Epic Episode was designed to have the two Death May Die megatures face off against each other, with exclusive tiles setting the stage for the showdown, where Investigators – tiny, pitiful humans - find themselves trapped between the two colossal forces. For this reason, the Crowdfunding Exclusive R'lyeh Rising expansion is required to play this Epic Episode.
