“Knockouts and Tapouts” is the card game that allows players to customize a fighter in mere moments and then use strategies and tactics of their own design to engage in a fast-paced, easy-to-play, mixed martial arts contest. Wear down or knockout your opponent with a flurry of kicks, punches, knees, and elbows. Throw them to the ground and get them to tapout due to your skillful arm, leg, and neck holds. Defend yourself with positions like the full and half guard, or dominate your opponent in side control or a full mount. This full 90 card deck contains action-oriented B&W photos of all your favourite MMA techniques, and a full colour easy-to-use playchart that creates a game that makes you feel like your going for the championship yourself. This deck, six dice, and two players are all that’s needed to play. Add more players for a tournament style game. Ages: Young adults and up. Visit: http://www.knockoutsandtapouts.com

If you love a great game or are a fan of Mixed Martial Arts then this game is for you. Each player gets to quickly and easily choose and customize the kind of fighter that they want to be. You can make a striker, grappler or a balance of both, then choose from a list of special styles and abilities and you're ready to go. You play through 3 quick phases. Each player rolls a die and adds any bonus they have to determine which of them is the most mobile on the current turn, then the player that wins mobility moves a marker to show the posture and range between the fighters. He then plays a card vs his opponent. The card could be a punch, a kick, an elbow, a neck hold, or any number of various special moves. You roll dice and use your fighter's strengths combined his position to instantly determine the success of the attack. Your opponent then does the same to you. You each then refill your hand and attempt to recover from any damage you may currently have. You keep repeating the process until the round ends (the draw deck is empty).

The really exciting thing is that the game can end at any moment, just like in a real MMA match. If you catch your opponent with a devastating strike or lock in a powerful hold, the match ends instantly in a knockout or a tapout. Both players are on the edge of their seats throughout the whole game knowing that it could be all over at any second. You can also wear down your foe until the ref stops the fight because one fighter is unable to intelligently defend himself (He's taken too much damage). Another way to win is that your successful attack cards are set aside during each round and count as points from the judges to determine a winner if the fight "Goes the distance."

The game has wonderful replay value because you can design a unique fighter every time you play. There are so many different cards that no two matches are ever the same. Most matches between experienced players are finished within about ten minutes, so you get to play multiple matches per game session. Playing Knockouts and Tapouts can be a favorite thing to do when with friends waiting for a highly anticipated match on TV or pay-per-view. The game usually plays so quickly that a game or two may be played while on a coffee break at work. Alot of attention was put into writing the instructions. Only one person really needs to read them. The game comes with a Quick Reference Card that you can use to teach somebody how to play quickly.
