King of Tokyo expansions
King Kong Monster Pack vs Cthulhu Monster Pack
Short answer: buy King Kong Monster Pack first. Good if you want a new monster and are curious about a new win condition. One reviewer disliked the Tokyo Tower race and played Kong without it.
Pick Cthulhu Monster Pack first instead if this sounds more like your table: A fun extra monster once you own Power Up!. One reviewer's group dropped the Madness card because it made turns worse for everyone else.
