Boxhead Boxers

**Boxhead Boxers** is an upcoming RPG card game designed by Wade Rininger in 2020.

## Synopsis

Imagine a world set inside of a computer. Behind those itty-bitty pixels lies an island filled with action, adventure, and danger, and beyond that, a community filled with box-headed people who live to battle and prove who's on top. And that's where you come in... to decide who wins and who gets KO'd!

## How to Play

Each player draws five random cards from the deck. Each card has a boxer with a rank that determines how powerful they are based on their skills listed at the bottom of the card, as well as their Health Points (HP) and Damage (DM).

### Ranks (from weakest to strongest)

* Effective: 30 HP, 5-10 DM
* Dangerous: 40 HP, 5-15 DM
* Tactical: 50 HP, 10-15 DM
* Rare: 60 HP, 10-20 DM
* Golden: 70 HP, 15-20 DM
* Diamond: 80 HP, 15-25 DM

### Fight!

Some boxers' skills combat the opponent(s)' boxers, some heal themselves and the allies in their deck, and others prevent them from performing skills for 1 or more turns.

Any skill written with an HP next to a number means that number is added to 1 or more boxers' remaining HP. However, the HP count cannot be higher than the number on their own card.

Any skill written with a DM next to a number means that number is taken away from 1 or more boxers' HP counts

Any one skill cannot be performed two times in a row.

### Friends and Foes

When a skill says it will effect allies, said allies consist of other boxers in your own deck, while enemies refer to the boxers in your opponent(s)' entire deck. Some skills can effect multiple allies or enemies at once, whether they target the strongest, weakest, or ones of your choosing.

### How to Really Kick Their Butts

Victory is decided by a point system. If you defeat a boxer in an opponent's deck, they must draw another card from the deck to substitute the boxer you defeated. If they lose all of the boxers in their original lineup, you earn a point. The first to earn a total of three points is the ultimate winner!

## Trivia

* Creator Wade Rininger appears on the Diamond Card as a Boxhead Boxer, known only as Wade.
* The entirety of the card game is unrelated to any other WadeComics media, excluding Superrabbit’s T-shirt worn by Wade.
* Wade’s younger brother Jake, and friends PJ, Chris, and Evie also appear in the game as Boxhead Boxers. However, the latter’s namesake was shared with one of the Rare Card characters.
* The graphic image on Cable‘s T-shirt is a reference to American media channel MTV.
* Chambers was named after late basketball player Wilt Chamberlain.
* Cowl’s bandana-tying pose was inspired by John Rambo’s same iconic action from the Rambo film franchise.
* Rogers was named after pop-culture icon and science-fiction character Buck Rogers, whereas the first name inspired his being depicted as a deer.
* Tramp was completely inspired by Charlie Chaplin's character, having appeared in some of his silent films.
* Wade also specifically created oppositely-gendered counterparts for some of these characters (ex: Ethan & Luna, Render & Pixelle, Sir Fangmeyer & Lady Bloodgood, Hawk & Wilder, etc.)
* Glam's original design was going to consist of white flesh (similar to other caucasian characters), a raven, and a bubbling cauldron, but the design was later scrapped and changed to how it currently looks as it too easily resembled the Evil Queen’s old hag disguise from Disney’s 1937 film “Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.”
* In the game’s future expansion packs, seven fighters based on TikTok creators are expected to make an appearance (Buckets, Chad, Chugi, Liv, Mohammad, Regi, and Tyler).
