About the game
Get ready for more ring action! Kabuto Sumo: Insect All-Stars introduces a new crew of fighters to the arena, and these insects aren't here to play. If you enjoy the push-and-slide gameplay of the original Kabuto Sumo, this expansion will spice up your matches even further. It brings 8 new wrestlers, each with their own unique signature piece, ready to challenge the giant beetles and make everything more unpredictable. The cool part is you can mix these newcomers with the original cast, choosing your favorite wrestling persona for each game. Some of these critters use multiple copies of their special piece, meaning all of them become available for you to use in the same game. This adds an extra layer of strategy and surprise, as you never know which insect with multiple tricks might show up! It's the perfect expansion for those who want more variety and unexpected challenges in their beetle battles. The rules are straightforward, and language dependency is minimal, so just grab it and play to see who will be the last insect standing!
