The upgrades are very thematic, fitting the sixties and seventies B monster move genre. You can become super stretchy, grow wings, burrow, fire breath. The powers are great, and the game is a ton of fun. Designed by Richard Garfield, who is famous for magic the gathering.

If anyone is in the market for a fun for all audiences game, King of Tokyo should be on your list.

+1. Deep enough and fast-paced enough that you've got to be flexible with strategy as the game progresses. Also relatively easy to teach to non-gamers. We've enjoyed this one.
