What it is about
The year is 648 BCE and it’s the 33rd Olympic Games. A new sport is about to enter Greek society. Two combatants enter the arena armed only with 10 cards and their wits, both vital to their success. Pankration means "All of the Might" and is best described as Ancient MMA. Trade punches and kicks aiming for a knockout before the fight goes to the ground. Wrestle your way into submission holds to force your opponent to surrender. Watch your opponent's hand and try to exploit their next action or maybe it's time for a good ol' tactical cheat. Diceman Pankration is a simple ruleset about getting into your opponent's head. You know what they can do, but they know you too. The game is fast, brutal and tactical and a ton of fun.
