Push 'Em

The realms are crashing together and falling apart, and a champion from each realm has been called forward to save their way of life. Push 'Em is a tactical arena brawler for 2–6 players in which six quirky champions try to shove each other out of a collapsing world. Each champion has a unique Gear card and, in advanced play, two Power cards.

On your turn, you roll four action dice, keeping the ones you like and rerolling the rest once. Dice results let you move, attack, heal, or gain Stars, and you can play Item cards drawn from crates scattered across the map. Attacks are answered with a defense die, and every point of Health a champion loses earns the attacker a Star and makes that champion easier to push. Stars can be spent on powerful moves, including rolling an extra die, saving yourself from a fall with a JUMP, or launching an adjacent champion out of the arena with an Orbit Puuuunch.

Pushing is the heart of the game. Spend a move to enter an adjacent champion's space, and the less Health they have, the farther they're pushed, knocking along anyone standing in the way in a Domino Push. At the end of each turn, the Realm Die determines which outer section of the arena breaks away, so the battlefield continually shrinks. Players choose from the crafty Carrot Patch Kid, the abominably adorable Betty the Yeti, the sneaky Ninja Cat, the honorably brutish Sir Chomps-a-Lot, the unpredictable AxoLOL, and the magical Labracadabrador.

You earn a Victory Crown when you knock an opposing champion out of the world during your turn, whether by pushing them, breaking the ground beneath them, or using an Orbit Puuuunch. Falling out on your own turn awards Crowns to your opponents. Fallen champions return on their next turn at full Health. In a free-for-all, the first player to 3 Crowns wins. Team modes (2 vs. 2, 3 vs. 3, and 2 vs. 2 vs. 2) play to higher Crown totals.
