Board Game Kabuto Sumo - Beetle Clash

Spring has come to Japan. Insects have returned. Sakura blossoms have bloomed. How nice it is to watch the blossoming, the awakening of nature. Pink tree petals, birds… Wait, what is this? Rhinoceros beetles have come together in a fight. Everyone wants to show what they are capable of. They would like a separate ring, because it is spectacular. The shoving continues, who will emerge victorious in this duel?

This is an entertaining family board game where everyone will try to knock the rival beetle out of the ring. To do this, you will receive bats and, using the push, you will try to move the beetle figure outside the field. You can play with two, three or four players (forming two teams).

Wrestling Bugs

At the beginning of the game, either randomly or by agreement, players choose a wrestler to play for. The wrestler`s card shows:

• branded beats that can be obtained;
• moves that can be performed under certain conditions.

The ring is filled with bugs and beats according to the number of players. Each player also receives a certain number of components and the fight begins. Each player must use their beat to push a row in the ring. In doing so, certain rules must be followed:

• you must push in a straight line;
• you cannot change the direction of movement;
• it is not necessary to push to the middle of the ring;
• you must push the bat from the platform;
• if the bats fall, the player takes them to his reserve.

You can also perform signature techniques before or after the standard bats are drawn. But each such technique can only be used once per turn.

The most agile one wins

The game ends when you manage to push out the opponent`s beetle. Even if another opponent`s wrestler remains in the game. You can win a game with two players if you throw the Championship Belt, which is placed on the central bat at the beginning of the game, outside the ring. But if your beetle also falls, you cannot avoid defeat. Players also lose when they run out of bits and cannot make a move.

This is a dynamic children`s game that adults can also play. Quite simple, but with interesting pushing mechanics, it attracts with easy rules and bright elements. Children from 6 years old can play it, who will have to be attentive and focused in order to be able not only to push the opponent, but also to prevent their beetle from being thrown away.
