Hi Dark,
I think this game is what you are writing about:
King of Tokyo
by IELLO
from Amazon: $25.19
In King of Tokyo, you play mutant monsters, gigantic robots, and strange
aliens, all of whom are destroying Tokyo and whacking each other in order to
become the one and only King of Tokyo.
At the start of each turn, you roll six dice. The dice show the following
six symbols: 1, 2 or 3 Victory Points, Energy, Heal and Attack. Over three
successive throws, choose whether to keep or discard each die in order to
win victory points, gain energy, restore health, or attack other players
into understanding that Tokyo is YOUR territory.
The fiercest player will occupy Tokyo, and earn extra victory points, but
that player can't heal and must face all the other monsters alone!
Top this off with special cards purchased with energy that have a permanent
or temporary effect, such as the growing of a second head which grants you
an additional die, body armor, nova death ray, and more.... and it's one of
the most explosive games of the year!
In order to win the game, one must either destroy Tokyo by accumulating 20
victory points, or be the only surviving monster once the fighting has
ended.
For 2-6 players
Takes about 30 minutes to play
From Richard Garfield, the designer of Magic: The Gathering.
Recommended ages: 8 to 15.

King of Tokyo is a dice and card game where you are one of 6 Monsters trying
to take over Tokyo. I found this to be a very fun and easy to learn (and
teach) family game. There is a lot of luck (and some strategy) involved so
anyone can win.
There are two ways to win:
1. Get the most Victory Points
2. Be the last monster standing
How a turn works:
1. Roll your dice
2. Re-roll the dice you do not want
3. Re-roll the dice you do not want (again!)
4. Count the results of your roll.
The roll can either give you energy points, victory points, heal your
monster, or attack other monsters.
If you roll energy points, you can purchase upgrade cards to give your
monster extra abilities to gain an advantage over your foes.
If you roll victory points, you get closer to winning the game by points.
When rolling attacks, there are specific rules that you should remember.
When standing in Tokyo, you attack all the monsters outside of Tokyo. When
standing outside of Tokyo, you attack the monster in Tokyo. Only one monster
can be in Tokyo at a time (unless playing with 5-6 players, there's a second
area of Tokyo to rule).
When rolling heals, you can only heal when you are outside of Tokyo. This
makes it more difficult for the guy trying to stay as the ruler of Tokyo.
How to gain victory points:
1. Roll 3 of a kinds with the numbered dice
2. Take over or stay in Tokyo
3. Buy cards that add victory points
