Travis:
The Game

The Object

Each player fields a team of six Knoxes. Knock out every one of your opponent’s characters to win.

Setup

1. Shuffle the 16 character cards and deal six to each player, face-down. Look at your own; keep them hidden from your opponent until each one takes its first turn.
2. Track each character’s HP with coins, dice, or a pencil tally.
3. Shuffle the 16 action cards into a draw pile. Each player draws two.

The Round

Players take turns, back and forth. A coin flip decides who starts.

On your turn, choose one of your characters that hasn’t acted this round. After it acts, turn it sideways. When every character has acted, a new round starts and everyone turns back upright.

On Your Turn

Draw one action card (unless you already hold three). Your chosen character does one thing:

• Attack — pick one of its three attacks (a light Jab, a named signature move, or a heavy Overdrive that costs it some of its own HP) and deal that damage to one enemy.

You may also play one action card on each turn, before or after.

Damage & Knockouts

At 0 HP a character is knocked out: turn it face-down. Healing never goes above a character’s starting HP.

Two Words to Know

Shield — blocks all damage from the next hit, then it’s gone.
Skip — that character misses its next chance to act.

Shorter Games

Deal three or four characters each instead of six. Everything else stays the same.
