Badass Force (2018)

In an alternative near future, Badass Force is the name of the most famous live show of the ultra-net.

Each week, contestants compete to find out who is the most Badass of all!

In the arena, it’s a no-holds-barred fight, where contestants use technology to take the appearance and abilities of "historical" characters. But alas, our culture is now limited to the action movies of the end of 20th century / early 21st century and many of those recordings have deteriorated.

This week you have finally been selected: Guns, attitude and bluffing will be necessary to fulfill your destiny!

In Badass Force, the goal is to be the first to achieve 16 victory points on the badassometer. Points are earned by eliminating the opposing characters, but a player is NEVER ELIMINATED from the game.

At the beginning of the game, seven different characters are selected from the ten in the box. Each player retrieves a copy of each of these seven characters and a weapon card. Players then choose a character from their hand and put it face down in front of them. In turn, a player will increase the level of charge of their weapon AND choose an action from five options (changing characters / changing weapons / fetching ammunition by throwing the 2 weapons dice / using their weapon / announcing a Character to use their power): everyone plays in turn order until a winner is declared.

Badass Force is a thematic game, with strong interaction in which one must use bluffing, guessing, hand management, and a little tactics to succeed and being declared the most Badass of all!
