Kabuto Sumo

Players control rhinoceros beetles competing in one-on-one and multiplayer wrestling matches to push opponents out of the circular ring. On a shared board, players take turns sliding and placing beetle pieces and support disks to shift balance and create cascades that can drive rivals off the edge. The game blends dexterity and spatial strategy as players plan shots, time pushes, and react to changing board states, with an element of luck in how pieces slide and fall. Matches resolve quickly and focus on outmaneuvering opponents to secure dominance in the ring.
