About the game
He is not happy! King Kong is ready to conquer the Empire State Building and Tokyo Tower to find his love. Will you dare cross his path, or worse, capture his beloved? The King Kong Monster Pack adds new elements to two games: Tokyo Tower for King of Tokyo and the Empire State Building for King of New York! Evolution cards let you play King of Tokyo and King of New York with supercharged monsters! King Kong's Evolutions work like the Evolutions in King of Tokyo: Power Up! and King of New York: Power Up! To play with King Kong's Evolutions, you need the Power Up! expansion for whichever base game you have. One of King Kong's Evolutions introduces the Beauty card, which has two sides that have different effects according to which monster owns the card. Part of the King of Tokyo series.
