Knockdown is a dynamic fighting game where you become a fighter and you have to knock down your opponent. During a game, you will have to surprise your opponent, create crazy combos, and, in the end, try to push them over by forcing them to the serious "Knockdown" test.

Knockdown Volume 3, containing three more fighters known from the Tainted grail board game (Mistbearer, Maggot, Lost Knight), skill cards, a new basic attack deck and a new arena.

Basic Attack deck - includes two new cards: Wyrdness and Throw. The fighter who draws Wyrdness suffers wounds, but the card offers two symbols instead of one. And Throw allows you to, well, throw your rival to space in a certain range and deal some damage.

In the center of this Arena stands an altar with a single candle. When you play in this Arena, you have to shuffle four candle cards into the Basic Attack deck and place two light tokens at the Arena's edges. When the candle is drawn from the deck, the area protected by the altar is reduced – fighters standing out of the candle range suffers a heavy wound at the beginning of their turns.

All components from all Knockdown boxes can be mixed together.

About the gameplay

Knockdown is one of a kind dynamic competitive game inspired by fighting video games, where you become one of those powerful warriors you have always been in your dreams and you have to make the best use of all of your skills to force your opponent to perform a K.O. test – in the original, dexterity form that gives you a great impression of struggling to stand up after a heavy hit.

During the game, you will find enjoyment in discovering what your fighter can and cannot do, how to play them efficiently, and how to use their strengths against their opponent’s weaknesses.

But if you want to search deeper, you may find another layer of gameplay – there’s much space for planning and decisions. And there’s nothing to stop you from playing Knockdown like the serious, expanded full format board game – a strategic fight between you and your opponent.

Dive into the box

In the Knockdown, you can find characters from other Awaken Realms games. Each mini in Knockdown is suitable for the „main game” and presents a miniature in a new, unique position. Summary – Knockdown owners can use their minis in the main game as alternative sculpts!

The game offers a 3D arena, so you can sit next to your opponent and enjoy knocking down his miniature, in a familiar fighting videogame setting.

Wooden cubes are designed for the Knockdown Test. Your opponent must build a tower from all cubes while you are counting from 10 to 0. If the tower is not ready in time – you win the round by KO!

Players that prefer less dexterity elements in their games will be happy to know that the alternative rules are included.
