GrudgeFall

GrudgeFall is a lucha libre trading card game in which matches are won by pinfall rather than by reducing a health total to zero. Each player controls a Wrestler from one of several rival Gyms, each with its own philosophy, strengths, weaknesses, and style of fighting, and battles across a series of Falls (caídas).

Each turn, players draw back up to a small hand of cards and roll a custom Momentum die, adding the result to a capped Momentum pool. Momentum pays for Maneuvers, attacks whose Damage is reduced by the target's Defense, and for Responses that counter or soften incoming attacks. Every Wrestler also has a named Signature Move, a costly capstone attack only that Wrestler can perform.

Wearing down an opponent's Stamina opens the chance to attempt a Three-Count Pin Check, which draws cards from the top of the pinned player's own deck. If the pinned player fails to kick out, the attacker scores the Fall. As in real lucha libre, the first player to win two Falls wins the match.

GrudgeFall is sold in 15-card booster packs. A single pack plays on its own as a quick sudden-death Grudge Match, two packs build a Standard Match deck, and additional formats support cooperative 2v2 play and multiplayer free-for-alls.
