The Square Ring

This is a two-player boxing game that might remind some of X-wing or BattleCon. Players are trying to score punches and land a knockout. If they're not able to score a KO, they can take two of the three rounds to win the bout. Gameplay in a nutshell: Players secretly choose their actions for the turn, reveal them, and they resolve simultaneously. This is called an “Exchange”. There are six exchanges per round. Players can modify their exchanges with Bursts (which give more actions in one exchange) and Reacts (which allow players to choose which one of their cards will be played first after seeing the opponent's card). Currently, Square Ring is available publicly on TTS! We have 8 Characters (below) and 6 coaches, giving the game a tremendous amount of replayability. Characters: Brawler: A pedal-to-the-metal puncher that gets tired as the bout goes on Out-fighter: A low-risk and consistently poking scientist In-fighter: He moves forward, pressures, and punishes with hooks and uppercuts Show Boat: She warms up by taunting her opponent, but once she does, she is a force to be reckoned with. Counter Fighter: The more often the opponent attacks, the more openings they leave to be exploited. Pugilist: An old-timey, handle-bar moustachioed prizefighter. His movement is rather stiff, but he has some interesting attacks and evasion. Round-Stealer: call her a procrastinator, but this fighter realizes her full potential in the second half of each round Balanced: The middle-of-the-road, beginner-friendly character whose powerful "Mjölnir" becomes more powerful in each successive round.
