THROWDOWN! is a card game. Each player gets 1 character, 50 additional cards, and infinite outcomes. Draw - Attack - Discard

What is THROWDOWN!

THROWDOWN! is a turn based card game that uses the Draw-Attack-Discard system or D.A.D.s. During the game you will have a character, a deck, and a discard pile. 

Why Throwdown?

There are a lot of games out there and they all tend to have a lot of rules. Gameplay is fast and easy. You don't have to be a lawyer to understand what to do on your or your opponents turn. You can spend more time just playing and having fun rather than having petty arguments--games people-- we are playing games, so lets have fun...

How Do You Play?

First you need at least 2 or more people to play and each person will need to have their own character card and deck, (the deck contains only 50 cards and is full of attacks, equipment, and modifiers) . 

The objective of the game is to attack your opponents deck. You do this with your character card and cards you draw from your deck. You win when their deck is completely depleted. No matter how many people play you will always attack the person to your left, so until you get down to two players you cannot attack the person that attacked you.

Setting up to play is easy just place your character card next to your deck and your discard pile will go on the other side of your character. 

Flip a coin to see who goes first, then follow 3 easy steps.

STEP 1 DRAW - On your turn DRAW a card from your deck and place it in front of your character card. 

STEP 2 ATTACK - Your character must ATTACK on your turn and will automatically defend your deck on your opponents turn. Total and resolve conflict damage. Follow any additional rules on the card. 

STEP 3 DISCARD - Now discard the card in play and put it into your discard pile, it is now your opponents turn and they follow the 3 easy steps.

What do you get in a deck?

Each regular deck comes with the following:

1 Character Card (That can equip up to 3 items)

15 Character Modifier Cards (5 Armor Cards, 5 Weapon Cards, 5 Disarm Character Cards)

10 Dec Modifier Cards (5 Regeneration Cards, 5 Devastation Cards)

5 Traps and Mishaps Cards (Thwart opponents attacks)

5 Signature Attack Cards

15 Attack Cards

Some Backers will receive BONUS CARDS that you cannot get in the regular decks for pledging at certain levels.

!!!Special Character Kickstarter Exclusive Cards packed with certain decks will allow characters to equip up to 4 items!!!

Why do we need your help?

Well I need your help in a few different ways. First I need your money. Without your help, I don't have the means to make the game affordable for most people. With your help I can order a sufficient amount of cards that would make it easier for everyone to purchase their own set if we destroy our goal and increase orders I can actually give more rewards out to our contributors. Second I need your friends--help us spread the word, let all of your friends know about out project, tell them to get their own decks, after all, this game is way more fun with lots of people playing--and to be honest we need their money to make the game also.

Where the money goes?

All the money initially goes directly to having these decks printed and delivered, as well as some of the art that still needs to be created for the cards.  We need your backing to get them produced and make THROWDOWN! a reality. As we pass our initial goal we will unlock more rewards.

Shipping Time 

All our rewards are listed to be sent/received in November. This is just a fail safe. We actually intend to ship them out as early as possible. But considering whatever rewards your pledge will include, shipping might take a little longer until all your rewards are available.

International Shipping 

For backers outside the US, please read the rewards carefully to know what your shipping costs will be. Different rates apply for larger supplies but any additional funds will be mentioned. Please be sure to add the additional cost to your backing order for proper shipping.
