Hmm. You say it kinda simulating the button mashing in an arcade game. But why is the kickstarter page quoting it as definitely and not kinda?

This reminds me a bit of the initial play in Critical Mass - you each try to get in your opponent's head a bit to out think what they will pull from their hand each time...then flip at the same time to see what happens. I picked up CM after demoing at Origins, and it's a blast (literally - mechs shooting each other up)...so, while I am a bit wary of the RPS mechanic here, I think I would get past that due to the thematic nature of it's use with the Fighting Theme.

I have backed all the Kolossal Games to this point, as I believe in Travis, his new company, and the games he is bringing to market (Western Legends, Kami Sama, The Omen Saga and Imperius). This one was the first I was a bit on the fence about, but having seen your preview, Mark, I think I will likely pick this one up as well. Thanks for sharing!

Everything this company touches is gold!

So basically if you lose the rock, paper, scissors a few turns because of luck, because that's all it is, you will have lost the game and never even taken a turn. Seems like a great mechanic.
