About this game

Ultimate Warriorz throws eight ridiculous fighters, think a samurai dwarf and a spartan dragon, into a tiny arena and lets chaos sort out who's still standing. Everyone secretly picks an action card each round, then actions resolve fastest-to-slowest, so speedy fighters strike first but usually hit softer, while the slow bruisers wait their turn to land something that actually hurts. Every character carries two signature moves plus stats for melee, ranged, speed and initiative, so match-ups genuinely play differently depending who you've got. Player elimination keeps things brutal, but the tone stays gleefully silly throughout. A revamped, expanded edition of the earlier cult favorite Mad Arena, built for quick, loud grudge matches.
