Let Them Fight: A King of Monster Island Board Game Review

I've been called the champion of all things King of Tokyo. But, that might have to change to the champion of mostthings King of Tokyo. King of Monster Island is a cooperative game set in the King of Tokyo universe and I have a “Would love to love but generally dislike” relationship with cooperative games. In this release the players team up, playing as stand-ins for Godzilla against the stand-ins for Ghidorah (Crystal Dragon, Lithosaur and Lavalord...but only one at a time). One of the keys to base King of Tokyo is that all monsters start with the same powers. You'll find that here as well. (And I really miss the power up expansion cards that make you monster feel like your own). Five monster are included and it's like they brought in the B-team of monsters to save the world. Okay, that's not fair. Megamoth is the Mothra we always wanted in KOT and H.A.D.E.S. is a cool battleship themed mecha. But is it truly King of Monster Island without a Giant Ape and a radioactive breathing Dinosaur?
