If you have Tabletop Simulator for the PC, it's available on there. We might also do a mobile version at some point, but we can't put the cart before the horse.
After watching this video during my break, I admire the concept of this game. If I had friends and a love for games like this (I never played a game like this in my life), I'd back this project. Thankfully he mentioned a Print and Play version if I ever want to give this game a test run. I wish this guy luck on his Kickstarter project.
NexebNoXV You can play solo. Beating your own score is not as exciting as opposed play, but it can be done. Take a look at the print an play prototype linked from the KS page.
This seems like a rather interesting game, but at $34, I think it’s just a bit too rich for my blood. At the same time, I’m sure you were pressed for time, but I would’ve liked to see a bit more of the gameplay happening naturally as opposed to talking about the different aspects. To me, it helps me netter understand a board game when I try to play through it a bit to get s feel for the pacing and the like
Hey Max! If you go over to the Kickstarter page there's a pretty in-depth tutorial video that takes you through a single turn step-by-step. There's also a free print and play version you can download and print out yourself if you wanna test it out.
looking at this vid years later is crazy , Paul LaPorte just announced a 3rd expansion that will include, Tag Teams , & Title Belts , to add on to the other 2 Expansions , This is a game that true die hard wrestling fans can love with Art that reminds them of classic Superstars they grew up watching and enough strategy to give the game replay ability and cause rivalries at the table all over again
Wishing him the best of luck. That being said if anyone would want to recreate or up the WWF Adventure Game (pen and paper RPG) from the early 90's, you have my money right away.
Cool idea, but Brian was really trying to get him to simulate a round, i wish he would have, i have a feeling the player vs player aspect of it is kinda boring, seems like you just set up a show and count the points
I played it when it was demoed at my local game shop. The main competitive aspect is when you are recruiting wrestlers. I may buy a lucha wrestler even though I run a hardcore promotion just so that you don't get him. There are also cards that mess with other players set ups or canceling their power ups.
I like the concept of the game but did anyone else pay more attention to the Nasty Boys a few tables over than the dude talking about his game....Or was it just me?
That genderflipped John Cena looks like it was stolen straight out of Max Landis' Wrestling Isn't Wrestling, mainly the red short sleeved "I win" shirt.
Paul LaPorte Jr. I'm not the maker. I'm a collector and player. The concept of sports management card games always interests me. It is called Top Promoter if that helps.
There are plans for at least three expansions. I did a livestream on the KS page that details some of the plans, but the ground for the game is fertile and if it gets funded there will definitely be plans for expansions.
Nope. That was a typo on the first prototype of the game I got printed. I had three copies of the game on me. Two had the right spelling. One didn't. Guess which one gets seen by thousands of people? :P
One player works pretty much the same as with other players. You're just looking to get the highest reputation possible, trying to set a "high score". You can try different promotions, venues, wrestlers, and see what gets you the highest reputation and if you can beat your best from previous games.
Nope. It's for 1-4 players. You can play solo and just go for a "High score" variant, trying to get the highest reputation you can. I prefer to play the game with a group of 3-4, but I know people who play the game with 2 players or solo regularly and enjoy themselves.
Ahh good, thought I was going mad haha It's a really, really cool concept mate, well done. It appeals to me as a player of the Adam Ryland booking games in the 90s and there's strangely no real alternative even in video game form for those who want to simulate running a promotion - really well executed too.
Thanks. I played A LOT of EWR and TEW when I was younger, and there's definitely inspirations from that in this game, as well as from Fire Pro, Raw Deal, etc. Most of the other games I've played is "wrestler vs. wrestler", but I wanted to try it from a different take.
Gamer's Anonymous I live in the real world, and I don't know a single person who plays them. And I just looked at the statistics, and they make up less than 4 percent of total games sold in the country. So you're right, one of us is a moron. I'm sure they're MAD POPULAR among the 6 or 8 people who frequent your shop, but like most comic book guys, you seem to be under the impression that your little niche is a reflection of the world at large. For this product to be successful it has to sell to a small cross section of people who like card games and indie wrestling. So basically your customer base is 15 people 😂😂😂. My point is proven by the fact that in a month his Kickstarter has a little over 100 donors, while every shitty video game on there has thousands.
Damn. Get this guy on UpUpDownDown RIGHT NOW!!
This has to be funded!
A super complicated game based on the systems of both Wrestling and Economy.
I'll take 20.
Patrick Johnson sold!!!!
I like that you can tell how passionate the guy is about his game. Seems to have it well thought out.
Turn 6.
I play the "Vince has booked Wrestlemania 4 against your card" and Insta Win!
Should've made a PC or a mobile game. I dig card games though.
If you have Tabletop Simulator for the PC, it's available on there. We might also do a mobile version at some point, but we can't put the cart before the horse.
Cool man! I wish you all the best for this game. This game is a great idea.
Paul LaPorte Jr. if we back the physical version do we get a copy for virtual table top as well?
The Tabletop Simulator version is available now and it's free. Just search for it in the Steam Workshop and you can download everything there!
Paul LaPorte Jr. Dude this is a awesome idea
Shame I don't have enough wrestling friends to play this, this looks amazing!
If you've got tabletop simulator you can play with others online!

I'm seriously contemplating getting this for me, my drummer and guitarist to play during downtime...looks fun.
This looks like fun!
Because 2K ditched GM mode a long time ago, this game will fill the void.
Elijah Grimes technically not true as 2k didn't have gm mode and never have but they might consider it
Honestly, this looks shit. You're better off waiting for FPW's MotR mode.
Try TEW.
Elijah Grimes universe mode is technically GM mode but way better. There's actually storylines. GM mode is overrated as hell.
I tried it in TableTop simulator and this is a neat game
Finally got the opportunity to buy it. Thanks Brian
I'm awful at card games but I somehow know I will like this if/when someone humours me and plays it a few times to get the feel for it.
This is what I always wanted. A proper wrestling game, not an RPG or some tables to dice through to see what comes up...
I love this idea! Unfortunately I don't have anyone who would play the game with me...
The game is available on Tabletop Simulator and we have a pretty lively discord group. You can always go that route if you like!
NexebNoXV You can play solo. Beating your own score is not as exciting as opposed play, but it can be done. Take a look at the print an play prototype linked from the KS page.
Would there be a way to get the Kickstarter-exclusive cards into the Tabletop Sim version if I backed at that level?
We could definitely set you up with that in addition to sending you the print copy of the game. For sure.
I fuckin love that you add the old wcw world tour music
I'm not into these types of card games but I fully support it.
This actually looks really cool, might end up giving some cash to the kickstarter.

Max Buffkin *$44. From what I understood in the video it's $34 for the game and $10 s&h.

I'm gonna back this. Thanks Zane
Really want to support this! Seems awesome.
Wishing him the best of luck. That being said if anyone would want to recreate or up the WWF Adventure Game (pen and paper RPG) from the early 90's, you have my money right away.
I like the sound of this. Seems to be a competitive deck-building game. Deck-Building games are great.
I wish this was an app game where you can keep upgrading your federation
ingenious concept. I like!
The expansion is live on Kickstarter through August 2019.
i want this but i know no one around me would ever play it with me... T_T
The wrestler's names and designs are fun.
This looks so fun
If that game was in tabletop simulator then newlegacyinc would play that game
Cool idea, but Brian was really trying to get him to simulate a round, i wish he would have, i have a feeling the player vs player aspect of it is kinda boring, seems like you just set up a show and count the points

This looks complicated as fuuuuuck
Hold up...is that the Nasty Boys in the background?
Yup.
I would be interested of buying this board game
So basically, Wrestle Angel Survivor.
I really like the look of this. If only any of my friends or family liked wrestling!
Is it possible that you review JBL’s WWE title reign from The Great American Bash 2004 to Wrestlemania 21? Good video as always
Release date till November? That's a long time.
That's the timeline for the game to be manufactured and then shipped out. It may be sooner, but November is the projected date.
Woah that actually looks like lots of fun.
Distracted by the Nasty Boys in the background
Set a reminder for the kickstarter... I don't have anyone to play it with but it might be fun just to have.
I like the concept of the game but did anyone else pay more attention to the Nasty Boys a few tables over than the dude talking about his game....Or was it just me?
this is the most convoluted board game ive ever seen
1:06
@ 4:55 the Nasty Boys being as nasty as they wanna be! LOL! Heading over to kickstatrer now!
That genderflipped John Cena looks like it was stolen straight out of Max Landis' Wrestling Isn't Wrestling, mainly the red short sleeved "I win" shirt.
Awesome game but a little pricey but I might pick it up after it sales on line
Nasty background
BACKED!!!
Hell yeah this is awesome! If only I had friends who were fans of wrestling like me. Or if I had friends in general...
If you've got tabletop simulator you can play with others online!
Paul LaPorte Jr. then I would have to have a PC as well
Well I have a boxing promoter game, might give this a peek.
Link? I'd be interested in checking that out!
Paul LaPorte Jr. I'm not the maker. I'm a collector and player. The concept of sports management card games always interests me. It is called Top Promoter if that helps.
I'll look into it. Thanks!
This would be awesome as an iOS game, similar to clash of
clans or something
Cool game, but I'll stick to Champions of the Galaxy! (IMO the greatest wrestling game ever. Your only limited by your imagination as a promoter).
GameOver Club why not both?
No fatal 5 ways, just 1on1 matches, guess wwe won't be buying in then ;-)
Cool concept
Female John Cena and Rick Flair?
A game about wrestling and there's no physical wrestling in it. The irony.
Rain Dragon is the best wrestler in the world!
seems very complicated
but will buy it
if comes to stores
Why not just buy a copy through the Kickstarter? it's guaranteed to be cheaper than the retail version
espurious i will
think about it
thanks
Just as I feared, the next 10+ Videos will all be from Wrestlemania events. *>sigh
Book it? I use to get free pizza using Book It.
This game looks pretty awesome. Will you expand on the game, such as having tag teams, pay per views, etc?
There are plans for at least three expansions. I did a livestream on the KS page that details some of the plans, but the ground for the game is fertile and if it gets funded there will definitely be plans for expansions.
Paul LaPorte Jr. Sweet. Thanks for the info!
Was Justin Lighning Tiger missing the T in Lightning on purpose?
Nope. That was a typo on the first prototype of the game I got printed. I had three copies of the game on me. Two had the right spelling. One didn't. Guess which one gets seen by thousands of people? :P
How do you play it 1 player?
One player works pretty much the same as with other players. You're just looking to get the highest reputation possible, trying to set a "high score". You can try different promotions, venues, wrestlers, and see what gets you the highest reputation and if you can beat your best from previous games.
I'd buy this :D
It's for 1-4 players? How the heck would 1 person play this by themselves? I'm assuming it was a slip up and he meant 2-4.
Nope. It's for 1-4 players. You can play solo and just go for a "High score" variant, trying to get the highest reputation you can. I prefer to play the game with a group of 3-4, but I know people who play the game with 2 players or solo regularly and enjoy themselves.
Seems he's tightrope walking the line of I.P. and Trademark Infringement with some of the cards. Even though it's parody, it's a little too close.
Bud Drinker? That's more Punch-Out than wrestling there...
I need this in italian.
2:28 - That has to be a typo on 'lightning' right?
Yup! I brought an early prototype of the game with me that featured "Justin Lighing Tiger". We've since made the correction.
Ahh good, thought I was going mad haha

This is like munchkins but with wrestling instead i like it
Shut up and take my money!
Matthew Nolan Okay!
Is it a mobile game
Right now it's just a card game, but it's also available on Tabletop Simulator for the PC.
Kick starter? Nope.
Why did you do it?!
I did it... For The Rock.
How much did he pay you for this promotion for his product? It's cool but not that cool. I tuned out after a while sorry bud
At around 6:04, the camera guy realizes how boring this dude is, and focuses on The Nasty Boys for the rest of the time.
Supervillain725 I don't know, I thought he was rather charismatic and engaging. Handsome too!
I meant the card game guy, not Z-man.
Me too!
As long as we're on the same page, it's all good.
Maybe as a cheap game on steam but $35 for a card game....nah!
There is a free table top sim version
L
I hate the parody honestly. Makes me think the dude has no originality. (shrugs)
Overly complex and niche market, this is gonna go nowhere
Dad?
Actually that's a joke my Dad's very supportive.
From what I saw, it looks pretty good. Not a fan of the art style though.
No way is this targeted at anybody born before 1995-'98. Or anybody with a life. No fucking way.
Heh heh heh.........
Card based game in 2018....
Believe it or not, they're mad popular, as much as anytime in history. Same with variations like miniature model card games etc.
Hey at least the guy is making an honest living. Not like Scumfuckery "Pay2Win" business models in "Free2Play" mobile games.
I run a comic shop and if you think card games are anything but popular, you are a moron.
Card games are just as popular as that have ever been. This is also the best place to market a card game, old school wrestling fans will eat it up
Gamer's Anonymous I live in the real world, and I don't know a single person who plays them.
