King of New York: Power Up!

King of New York: Power Up! is an expansion for King of New York. It adds the expansion mechanic from King of Tokyo: Power Up! into King of New York, allowing players to give their monsters new powers.

Description
King of New York: Power Up! adds the evolution mechanic to King of New York. This allows monsters to gain evolution cards, which give monsters new abilities. It also adds a new monster, Mega Shark.

Rules
Give each player the 8 evolution cards corresponding to their monster. Shuffle these into a face-down deck for each player.

Every monster starts with one evolution; before the game starts, draw two from your pile, choose one and shuffle the other back into the deck. Keep the chosen card in your hand; it is not revealed until you play it.

When a player resolves at least three heart dice, they gain an evolution card; draw two cards, keep one in your hand and discard the other. If the deck is empty, shuffle your discard pile to create a new deck. This happens separately to the main effect of the heart dice - they can still be used to heal, and evolution cards can still be drawn in Manhattan.

Evolution cards are kept in the hand until played. If the card does not specify when it is played, it can be played at any time. Temporary cards are used once, and then discarded immediately after. Permanent cards stay in front of the player. Where any effect simply refers to 'cards', evolution cards are not included.

Mutant Evolutions
This variant offers a different way to distribute evolutions.

Shuffle all evolution cards into one central deck, and deal 8 randomly to each player. The players should end up with evolution cards that do not belong to their respective monster. Each player looks at all the evolutions in front of them, chooses one and places it face-down in front of them. They then pass the seven remaining evolution cards to their left. They then choose one of these, and it to their pile. This repeats until every player has eight evolution cards on their pile; they then shuffle them, and this becomes their deck for the game.

Game play then continues as normal.
