Description

A game of boxing, fruit of the creativity of Guido Crepax.

Published in book form with cut out drawings of 32 famous pugilists of the past, from the pioneers (John L. Sullivan, Bob Fitzsimmons) to the champions of the 1970s (Muhammad Ali, George Foreman, Joe Frazier).

Gameplay is based on the roll of the dice, which determine movement on the ring. Some boxers are slower than others (Primo Carnera), other move faster than the average (Sugar Ray Robinson, Muhammad Ali).

When the boxers are in adjacent squares, each roll a die to exchange punches. The one who rolls higher scores points. The boxers also have a limited number of powerful punches, for simplicity called "destri" (two dice) and "destri super" (three dice) allowing knock outs.
