Sumo Arena (2001)

About this game

Sumo Arena is a tongue-in-cheek multi-player simulation of Sumo wrestling. Each turn players simultaneously reveal a card that moves their wrestler on a circular-shaped hex board. If another wrestler is in your way, they get pushed back. If they are pushed out of the ring, they are out. Last man standing wins. There are also ways to "charge", and "rest".

Does it fit your group?

• Group size. Works with 2 to 7.
• Rules load. At 2.0/5 this is a mid-weight game — expect a proper rules explanation before you start.
• Age. The publisher suggests 6 and up. That rates the rules rather than the artwork, so judge the box yourself for younger players.
