Knockout (2014)

About this game

As the newest pug on the block, you're ready to sock the next lug to enter the ring with you. The wise heads have finally let you challenge the champ and it's up to you to prove that you can sing that sweet chin music with the best. This is a knock-down, drag-out slugfest from designer Fréderic Moyersoen that only one fighter can win; the last man standing takes home the dough and the dames. Maybe once you've beaten back the roundheels in the one-off brawls, you can go on to fight in the bigger tournaments... What's In The Box?: • One 12-page Rules booklet • One mounted game board • 13 counters • 55 cards • Four standees • One bright red cardboard VPG game box • One beautiful box cover sleeve • One "Wipes-A-Lot" napkin • One charcoal desiccant packet

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 4.
• Rules load. At 1.3/5 this is a light game — explain it in a few minutes, good for a table that has not played much.
• Age. The publisher suggests 13 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
