This card game pits you and a friend in the ring to simulate an epic professional wrestling battle. Each player controls their wrestler, using a hand of seven cards filled with classic moves and trash talk straight from TV. Want to attack? First, you have to earn the right to attack in a mini-game of 'rock-paper-scissors' adapted for the ring. Cards have varying costs and effects, ranging from landing a devastating 'Atomic Drop' to wearing down your opponent's stamina. Manage your hand well, as every play counts towards tiring out your opponent, stunning them, or even going for the winning pinfall! The game continues until one wrestler is knocked out, disqualified, or pinned. And if the deck runs out? No drama, the played cards are reshuffled, and the show goes on! Main Event Wrestling is pure fun for those who enjoy the theatrics and action of wrestling, with a dash of strategy and dice-rolling luck. ## FAQ ### How many players can play?
