Mechanics (from transcript analysis)
- 2v2 team play and tagging — Two-player teams; tagging mechanics allow sharing attacks and coordinating with teammates.
- Asymmetry with unique fighters — Eight fighters across base and added sets, each with unique decks, stats, and three special abilities.
- Blocking and discarding — Defenders can block by discarding cards to avoid damage.
- Combat: Dice — Play multiple cards as part of a single attack, distributing dice, with some stamina considerations.
- Combo and symbol system — Attacks can be chained by matching symbols for extra damage.
- Die-Threshold attack resolution — Attacks require a die roll meeting a threshold to deal damage; failure discards attack and gives the defender an opportunity.
- Health, stamina, and energy management — Health and stamina track resources; attacks cost stamina; recovering and managing energy is central to planning.
- Initiative-based action — Players take turns playing cards from hand; the attacker acts while the defender blocks or counters; initiative determines who attacks.
- Momentum/hype track — A momentum/hype track increases with successful attacks; reaching ends grants bonuses for special moves and improves dice outcomes.
- Once-Per-Game Abilities — Each wrestler has a reversal option and two once-per-game abilities to turn the tide.
- Pinning victory condition — The goal is to pin the opponent; escaping pins requires multiple dice rolls; pins end the game when successful.
- Rampaging attacks — Play multiple cards as part of a single attack, distributing dice, with some stamina considerations.
- Reversals and once-per-game abilities — Each wrestler has a reversal option and two once-per-game abilities to turn the tide.
- Solo campaign mode (campaign) — All-or-Nothing campaign with chapters, injuries, and character progression.
- Teams — Two-player teams; tagging mechanics allow sharing attacks and coordinating with teammates.
