On your turn, you roll six dice up to three times, using the results to damage other monsters, heal yourself, or store energy to buy power cards with unique effects. As you battle for dominance in Manhattan, you can try to achieve fame, destroy buildings for bonuses, and displace other monsters from their districts.
