About this expansion

King of New York: Monster Idol is a 2014 promo card from the King of Tokyo series, associated with games for 2–6 players and a listed play time of 40 minutes.

The Monster Idol is a discard card with a cost of 5 energy. Its effect links the card’s reward to the fame rolled during the same turn, making the result of that roll central to its value.

  • Card type: Discard
  • Cost: 5 energy
  • Reward: 1 VP for each fame rolled that turn

When you buy the Monster Idol, you gain 1 VP for each fame you rolled that turn. The card therefore provides a clearly defined way to convert rolled fame into victory points, using information from the turn in which it is purchased.

Monster Idol is the first promo card for the series. It was meant to be given to players when buying the game, either at conventions or in stores.

As a promotional addition connected to the King of Tokyo series, King of New York: Monster Idol offers a compact card-focused feature with a 5-energy cost and a fame-based VP reward. Its concise effect makes the card’s defining details easy to identify: buy it, check the fame rolled that turn, and gain the corresponding number of victory points.
