About this game

King of Tokyo: Origins is a standalone game in the King of Tokyo series that's meant to serve as an entry point for new players since it's a smaller, more affordable package. The game includes four new monsters, an assortment of new power cards mixed with older ones, energy cubes, and green dice with yellow characters. Gameplay remains the same as in the original game: To win, be the first to score 20 points or be the only creature still standing.
