A number of tabletop games have attempted to match the blazing button-mashing speed and deep combo-executing complexity of arcade fighting games such as Street Fighter. Combo Fighter is one of the most accomplished efforts yet.
It’s a game of bluffing, skill and luck, as the players simultaneously execute moves by revealing cards from their hand – each turn mimicking a split-second button press in a video game. the cards are drawn from a deck individual to each fighter, with the make-up of the rock-paperscissors- ish move list split across attack, defense and footwork actions that each trump one of the others.
