Folko-Boks is a boxing-themed abstract pure strategy game. The game lasts 10 rounds in a ring of 36 squares, randomly initialized with numbered chits. In each round, players move their boxers like a chess knight, removing the numbered marker from the square they left. The boxer who moves onto a higher numbered square wins that round. Being unable to move causes a knockout loss. Folko-Boks was included as a free game in issue 4 of the Polish board gaming magazine Świat Gier Planszowych ("World of Boardgames") published December 2007. The game acknowledges some inspiration from an earlier game by Sid Sackson, probably Paper Boxing. There is a somewhat similar game Joust on an 8x8 grid.
