Mixed martial arts board game

Abstract

A method of playing a board game that simulates physical combat between two players uses game equipment including: a game board having a board surface indicia recognizable as a fighting ring with at least two separate fighting areas, the fighting areas each are closed circuits of spaces wherein game pieces are moved and a majority of the spaces define a specific fight action. Fight cards are used to keep score by marking each fight action that a player identifies when moving to a square during each turn. Once it is determined which fighting area is to be used, each player rolls a die in turn and moves around the board which resembles a ring. The player that is able to mark the most fight action squares on his card wins the game. Other features of the game board moves allow changing from one fighting area to another and an instant win.

1 . A method of playing a board game that simulates mixed martial arts combat between not more than two players, the method comprising the steps of:
 in alternate turns, said players moving the game pieces according to a tossed die over a polygon shaped game board having at least five edges thereby resembling a mixed martial arts ring;   moving each game piece is moved at any one time over one of an outer ring of game spaces and an inner ring of game spaces thereby determining, in each move;   a) a fight action whereby; said fight action is then recorded on a game card;   b) when to switch the game piece from the outer ring to the inner ring, and when to switch the game piece from the inner ring to the outer ring;   c) when to roll a further die thereby determining the winner of the game; and comparing the fight cards to determine a winner of the game based on a superior number of said marked fight actions.
