We played a game of King of Tokyo last night with 6 players. Here’s the scenario:
5 players remain.
The player in Tokyo Bay rolls 5 attack claws and a power charge.
All 3 players outside of Tokyo die.
TC player believes the player from TB now has to leave Tokyo because Tokyo Bay is now closed.
TB player believes he should remain because he killed everyone else, and logically he shouldn’t be punished for success.
The rule examples only depict scenarios where the player in TC is the attacker.when the player count drops under4, (or a player in Tokyo is dying, so the issue resolves itself.)
I’m torn because logically Tokyo Bay and Tokyo city are really just super positions, representing both players being in the attack position. Logically, I’d interpret that as whomever has the dice is in the Tokyo alpha position.
But the rules just say “Tokyo bay closes” so I understand why the Tokyo city player thinks the the TB player has screwed himself and is now kicked out.
What’s the ruling?
