The Concept
The mighty Kabutomushi, the magnificent rhinoceros beetles are knocking heads, sumo wrestling. Their epic duels in the World Insect Wrestling Championship are the stuff of legend! Now, you and a swarm of challengers are here to contend for titles and your place in history. Position is everything. It will take balance, steady hands, and maybe a little luck to push and pivot your opponents from the ring!
The Components
Kabuto Sumo is a beautiful game. Artist Kwanchai Moriya creates an enticing colorful world full of flamboyant insect heroes worthy of any professional wrestling circuit.
The play surface a wrestling ring a wrestling ring is a raised cardboard platform in the shape of a tree stump. A separate cardboard pushing platform butts up against the stump, allowing each player to introduce new pieces to the ring. Chunky, but smooth, wooden discs in three sizes and three colors will populate the board. Each player will begin with a few discs in their personal supply.
Each player has a wooden insect wrestler token and a special move token in a shape that reflects the insect's species. Each wrestler also comes with a reference card outlining their abilities. For younger or new players, Junior league cards outline rules for a simpler and slightly faster game.
