Description

Sumo Toads is a fast, tactical battle on a crowded lily pad where chunky amphibian wrestlers shove, splash, and belly-bump each other in a slippery fight to stay on the pond. The game unfolds in two halves: first, players draft their toads onto the board, each with unique asymmetric abilities that shape their strategy and the terrain of the match. This setup phase is itself the draft, determining not only which toads you control but where every contestant begins and what the map setup for the match looks like. Once the lily pad is full, the bout begins — a chaotic, clever positioning game where timing, momentum, and reading your rivals matter just as much as raw toad power. Quick to learn, loaded with personality, and endlessly replayable, Sumo Toads captures the spirit of sumo wrestling… if the wrestlers were determined, slippery toads with questionable balance and enormous enthusiasm. —description from the publisher
