A lost episode stomps back onto the feed! Buried deep in the archives during our infamous Copyright purge, this recording has finally escaped the vault and is ready to wreak absolute monster sized havoc. Bryan and RP were prepared to ring in the far off year of 2022! In this resurrected episode of The Gateway Gamers Podcast, we unleash King of Tokyo, the smash hit dice rolling monster battle game designed by Richard Garfield and published by IELLO. We talk about why this gateway board game classic continues to dominate tables, break down the push your luck Yahtzee style dice mechanics, debate monster strategies, and ask the ultimate question: Does King of Tokyo still rule the city… or has a new kaiju taken the crown?
