Gameplay

The gameplay works with each player picking a monster. The monsters avaiable are Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah and Megalon.

The players take turns declaring actions using their cards or using a discard action listed in their kaiju mat by discarding a card. There are three main types of cards. attack cards, defense cards and movement cards.

Attack cards are divided between ranged and melee cards, which determine if the attack can be used only against kaiju in the same space as the user or in more spaces in a straight line. Melee attack cards can also be used to throw other kaiju or vehicle the same amount of spaces as the card's attack value. When a kaiju is attacked they reveal the same amount of cards as the damage from the top of their deck and the attacker chooses a card with the highest dominance value amongst the revealed cards and add it to their trophy pile.

Defense cards can only be played in response to an attack card or other source of damage and only one can be played against any given instance of damage. Defense cards simply reduce the amount of damage received by their defense value.

Movement cards simply make you move that amount of spaces.

Cards are played by spending energy off your energy counter. Each kaiju starts the game with 2 energy and can regain energy by destroying buildings, which is usually done by destroying vehicles or buildings. Buildings can be destroyed by throwing kaiju or vehicles at them while vehicles can be destroyed by being thrown at buildings or kaiju.

The game ends when the oxygen destroyer counter crosses the small building pieces that are placed in the damage track when they are destroyed on the board. The kaiju with the greatest sum of dominance points wins the game.
