Signature Games: Godzilla Game

If you like Toho's Godzilla (especially the Showa era of movies) you'll love this game, if only for the sheer geeky fan service. Lot's of references to the kaiju Megalon, Mothra, King Ghidorah, and of course the king himself, Godzilla. Along with all the usual Earth defences and even the Xillians from GZ vs The Astro Monster. If you like board games where the board can be different from one game to the next, where you have to use tactics as well as brute force against not only your opponents, but the game itself that's desperately trying to chase you all away, then there's no need to have much of any fandom knowledge of the monsters themselves. The instructions may seem daunting at first, the rules being comprehensively explained, with illustrations to describe examples, so as to help avoid any midgame confusion. The rules themselves are actually fairly straightforward, and much of the unique in game mechanics are explained on the cards as they are played. The board pieces are a little monochrome, making some parts such as where to place trains (if using that in game side quest) a little fiddly, and keeping track of the Small Buildings on the board can be lost like camouflage. That aside, I found the miniatures (larger and special buildings, and the players' kaiju pieces) good quality and great fun to move around the modular hex-board city. Once everyone had got accustomed with the turn order and mechanics, we were gladly trashing tanks, eating trains, and burrowing or tail sailing into one another. Requires a good sized table space to play, even for two players, as the play area you build PLUS all the other components needed will take up a lot of space. I would encourage set up being a group effort, getting everyone involved before duking it out.

Very good fun game

A really fun, relatively simple "beat the tar out of your opponent" kinda game. You play as one of four Kaiju and try to gain the most points by landing blows against your opponents whilst throwing cars, smashing buildings and the like. My only complaint is there was never any expansions! This game easily could've had more Kaiju added to it.

The figures are very detailed and the game well designed. Only issue is I am missing one token but have an extra of another one. Does not take away from the game and its a must for Godzilla fans.

Quality board game. You’ve got to be the best monster in town. Might take a few plays to fully grasp the rules but soon plays well. Potentially better with 3-4 players but 2 is also good.

From the moment I opened the box, I was hooked. You get to play as Godzilla, Mothra, King Ghidorah, or Megalon, smashing through Tokyo, clashing with rival monsters, and outmaneuvering humanity’s frantic attempts to stop you. Every card has an energy cost, which makes each turn feel satisfying and strategic without slowing down the fun. The kaiju miniatures are absolutely stunning, full of character, and perfect for causing mayhem. The modular board and different kaiju combinations keep every game fresh and exciting. Monster-versus-monster battles are pure cinematic chaos because you can throw down without worrying about damage, and the escalating human attacks add just the right amount of tension to keep you engaged. The retro 80's inspired visuals give the whole game a nostalgic flair, and the setup is so easy that you are playing in minutes. It is clever, fast, accessible, and ridiculously fun. If you are a Godzilla fan (and in perfect time for the latest movie coming out this November!), this game is a joyful, chaotic, and utterly satisfying way to flatten Tokyo again and again.

Great game, easy to play for a quick game takes about an hour ish, just a fun little distraction

This product was for my grandson.

Great game so long as your friend understands how to play and doesn't just attack you for no good reason even when you aren't the king of monsters and are not the closest and don't have the most points. I lost and am a bit bitter about it. But its a fun game and a great addition to anyone godzilla and or board game collections

El juego es sencillo pero luce bastante en la mesa, las reglas pueden parecer un poco complicadas al principio pero buscado un buen tutorial en internet y jugandolo un par de veces todo queda muy claro, las figuras están muy bien detalladas, una ronda dura entre 30 y 45 min., eso sí, es importante mencionar que se requiere de un dominio básico del inglés para poder jugarlo sin que se torne aburrido. Recomendado para todos aquellos que les gusten los juegos de mesa con miniaturas y/o que sean fanáticos de los kaijus, en especial de Godzilla. Por último, si son muy fanáticos, cómo yo, pueden conseguir o imprimir figuras que puedan servir para reemplazar los tokens de cartón y luce mucho más.

Great game with awesome components

Divertente gioco da tavolo nel quale interpreteremo i mostri dei film giapponesi intenti a darsi botte da orbi. Divertente e caciarone. Il gioco è in inglese ma sul sito boardgamegeek potete trovare il manuale tradotto in italiano.

Spiel ist leider auf Spanisch. aber mit einem Handyübersetzter Spielbar. Sehr schön gearbeitete Figuren.
