HONBASHO: A Grand Sumo Skirmish Game

HONBASHO: A Grand Sumo Skirmish Game (Ashcan Edition)

HONBASHO is a 1v1 skirmish game that simulates modern sumo wrestling. It is quick to pick up and fast to play. Each turn, players will use a variation of rock paper scissors to select techniques to attempt, then roll d6 plus any modifiers to determine which technique is successful. 

Honbasho came from a desire to teach about sumo with a game, more so than making a sumo game. Terminology, structure, and vibes have been maintained as much as possible, and the full release will contain much more information. My hope is that after someone plays this game, they will have a basic understanding of sumo and can watch and enjoy it.

This is an early draft. The game is rules complete, but will be further expanded with art,  layout, a primer on sumo wrestling, paper standees, and possibly custom minis.
