I love that the jobbers are James Ellsworth and Blue Pants. And I never expected Max Landis' John Cena to ever appear outside of his "Wrestling Isn't Wrestling" video. Love it!
Been playing a lot of total extreme wrestling and wondered if they made a board game semi similar. Thank you for reviewing the game and giving me an idea on it. I believe I’ll be picking it up.
Also love the paint. I might do this first time I play with my kids.
Ooh just randomly ran into this game during a board game library revival I’ve been doing this month. I’ve been spending a lot but might have to go for it. The mechanics look surprisingly sound, and I’m so glad a deep wrestling fan, one into the booking, business aspects of pw, took the chance to make this game for what must be a fairly limited audience.
The art/aesthetics are the only thing giving me pause; they’re not bad, but not great either. I understand the likenesses need to be vague for legal reasons, but the colors and general look are a little lacking for me. A few cards look really good; others not so much. Not crazy about the $ tokens either.
But the rarity of this theme and the idea of creating matches with this mechanic is too enticing for me to pass up. I was big into the indie wrestling scene for a while and it is a fascinating subject. Thanks for doing this review. When I ran across this in a chat room, I found it on Amazon and hoped the Dice Tower covered it and here it is!!! Also great face paint.
I love Book It. Definitely glad that I backed it on KS and love that it's getting reviews now. It is definitely a love letter to wrestling fans. Hoping to get some expansion content one day. I am primarily a solo gamer, so I have toyed with some solo variants. I posted them out on the BGG page for anyone else that is interested in that sort of thing.
Maaaaaan... I wish I would've seen this months ago! I'd have loved to've snagged a copy of this on Kickstarter!
Bryan Drake is an encyclopedia. I heard it said once that it’s good to have enough information that you can hold a 20 minute conversation about almost anything. You far outrun this standard. Killer facepaint and great review!!! Warrior RIP!!!!
To answer your question, I’d like to see a board game that does skirmishes where positioning plays more of a role in chance of hits and damage.
Great review but this game seems a little complicated. Curious to know who thinks this or WWE Legends Royal Rumble is better?!
Nice paint job on your face there
Great review, and love the paint. Really good point you made about cards working so well with this theme. Wrestling seems like such an untapped genre for board games, given the huge variety of characters as well as being able to theme around the wrastlin side or the booking/behind the scenes side. (Anyone else find a calm, reasonable Ultimate Warrior a bit surreal?)
Queso Blanco whole editing it, it was sooooo weird especially when there were curious or inquisitive expressions lol.
Probably a bad analogy, but for all of those non-wrestling fans a "booker" is usually the Dungeon (of Doom) Master for a pro wrestling show. Sometimes as little power as just being a match maker, but other times, as much power as creating and controlling feuds and story lines (angles) that set up the matches. So yeah, there is the reason why there can be a mild argument between fans "who is the booker?". Since in reality, they are suppose to be a shadowy figure that fans are not suppose to know about.
Wcw did a show in the mall of America
The day Lex Luger made his WCW NITRO debut after appearing on PPV for the WWF the night before.
Sold on facepaint alone!
Leedguitar2 I had to lol
Just needed a long blond wig to top it off!!
