About the game

What you do in a play session

Howdy, partners! In the sun-baked dust of Dusty Gulch, where shadows stretch long and strange, disagreements find resolution not with a six-shooter, but in the Rowdy Ring. Here, common sense yields to the thrill of a wrestling match, proving that in this corner of the Wild West, might makes right — one suplex at a time. Rowdy Partners is a team trick-taking game played over a series of rounds, with each round being composed of eight tricks. Work with your partner to beat the other players by draining their health through calculated strikes and sneaky counters. Swap wrestlers mid-match, unleash signature moves, and collect Pop to gain the upper hand. The team that first pins one of their opponents wins!
