King of Tokyo - Halloween

Iello announced Halloween, a limited and spooky expansion for its hit game board game King of Tokyo. The expansion will add two new monsters to the game: Pumpkin Jack and Boogie Woogie. Each monster will have eight personal evolution cards, as well as a new evolution card feature that will allow players to pass evolution cards to other players.

King of Tokyo - Halloween will also include 12 new power and costume cards to allow your monsters to look scary, a set of 6 orange and black engraved dice, and a promo card for the as of yet unnamed King of Tokyo stand alone game programmed game planned for 2014.

Considering the name of the new monsters, one can only wonder how much Iello designers were influenced by Jack "The Pumpkin King" Skellington and Oogie Boogie, from Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas.
