About the game
Get your best persona ready and step into the ring, because in Maskmen, the show must go on! If you want to keep your sponsors happy, you're going to need more than just muscles; you're going to need pure strategy. The game puts you in the shoes of a pro wrestler who needs to shine through four intense seasons to secure the ultimate victory.

The gameplay is fast-paced and addictive. In each round, your main goal is to shed your cards as quickly as possible. On your turn, you can play between one and three cards, but there's a catch: they must be of the same wrestler type and cannot be cards that have already been played in that round. It's a constant balancing act between trying to speed up your discard and avoiding being stuck with a hand full of useless cards while others pull ahead.

The faster you clear your hand, the better your reward. Players who finish first snag the highest-value point tokens, while the last player remaining in the round takes a -1 penalty token. It's the kind of game where every decision matters and the tempo is frantic. After four seasons, the player with the most accumulated points is crowned the ring champion. It's a short card game, perfect for those seeking a quick dose of competition without needing a thousand-page rulebook, but with all the tension of knowing one mistake could cost you the championship!
