About the game
What you do in a play session
Welcome to Tijuana, where bankrupt American businessmen come to... well, to wrestle! In 'Secret Tijuana Deathmatch', you take on the role of a wrestling promoter, tasked with recruiting the best (or most desperate) businessmen from the United States to form your stable. The goal? Pit your wrestlers against those of other players in deathmatches to make a big profit! Forget glory, here it's all about the money. You earn cash in two ways: by defeating an opponent's wrestler (they pay you the purse) or by betting on the winner of a match between two other players (sharing a side bet with those who guessed correctly). The richest promoter, before someone's stable runs out, is the ultimate champion. Fun fact: this game has a limited print run of 5000 copies, as the match modifier tiles were an overprint from Atlas Games' 'Spammers'. Get ready for a clash of egos and bulging (or empty) wallets in this peculiar and hilarious setting.
