King of Tokyo

← All King of Tokyo questions

If my Monster is eliminated by a card I buy after my roll, do I still get the stars for surviving my turn in Tokyo?

The publisher ruled on this exact case, and the survive-the-turn rule agrees.

No. If a purchase eliminates your Monster before the turn ends, it never reaches the end of its turn, so it does not collect the survival bonus and cannot claim victory that turn.
