About the game
What you do in a play session
The gameplay is fast-paced and straightforward. On your turn, you play cards to unleash attacks on anyone at the table. Of course, your opponents won't just sit there; they can use block cards or powerful counter-attacks to ruin your plans. If your attack lands, the defender loses chi points. When their chi hits zero, they are knocked out and eliminated, leaving the path clear for the next "true master."
What makes this game special is its chaotic simplicity. Don't expect an ultra-complex simulator; the fun here lies in trying to land the most absurd combos and watching the table react to every card played. It is the perfect gateway game for a snack-filled night, where no one takes themselves too seriously, and player elimination isn't frustrating because the matches are so quick. It is a fun tribute to 70s and 80s action movies, perfectly capturing that choreographed "bar fight" energy. If you enjoy quick games with direct interaction and a touch of humor, you will feel right at home. It is easy to learn, fast to play, and guarantees plenty of laughs as you try to prove you are the supreme Kung Fu master. Prepare your cards, sharpen your reflexes, and don't let them knock you out before you show them who runs the dojo!
