Brutal Ring

Card game - 2013

I spent a lot of time on this card game to create the rules and the artworks of the cards. The longest was to balance it: Experimented over 40 versions of the game rules and graphics with my friends.

Introduction

After two decades of chemical and bacterial warfare, the earth is devastated. The world is now ruled by gangs that fight for the control of the few remaining resources. In this chaos, one last place still has authority: The Brutal Ring. Politics, business, justice, everything is decided in the Brutal Ring. The best gladiators of each gang fight in this huge arena. The victorious gang takes it all: Territory, weapons, slaves... The Brutal Ring is the New Order!
