I mean… theoretically speaking… absent of the legal system, could one forgo the fake swords and use real metal sharp swords?

[@Eldritch_Balloon]

Why the hell not. Grievous injury? What’s that?

[@001UnknownPerson]

go ahead, but imagine that would make the games pretty short

[@yeetyiu4505]

That would be a really quick match

[@goonerbear8659]

I mean, you could, though that would make having multiple sword fights per game difficult...

I prefer to play a different style of this game - it's called "put the deck of cards away and have a sword fight" And the other alternative game mode - "shuffle the deck and have a sword fight with cool rules".

[@alixx_legenddark_xx2819]

The game we didn’t want but need

[@alixx_legenddark_xx2819]

But pls change the name

[@zeldaandotherstuff8333]

another goated game from exploding kittens!

[@Dustysoupman]

Ayo why is this game actually really clever

[@eliasstenbak5689]

So if i grab your sword, you lose the fight, because you can't hit the arms

[@freezeburn9875]

yeah given that you can technically just use your arms to shield hits, this rule definitely requires a strong honor code to function

[@eliasstenbak5689]

@@freezeburn9875 and the big boss is the referee so you would always win

[@jzhang3703]

Ah loopholes, the follies of games

[@FluffyDragon-cm8bz]

As someone who loves fighting my siblings with toy swords, this is gonna be epic

[@ASBESTOS_EATER]

As a HEMA practitioner, I approve of this game; 110% accurate to real swordplay, great job Exploding Kittens!

[@AngelShrimpChips]

So what you’re saying is that “Let’s Hit Each Other With Fake Swords” is a game about hitting each other with fake swords?

[@raffo2675]

That’s an incredible game wow!

[@ExplodingKittensInc]

Hope you try it!

[@dj3k610]

Hard Mode: Bamboo/Rattan training swords What, did you think i was gonna say "Real Swords"? Nah, that only works for burritos.

[@Volt64bolt]

This gives major advantage to hema practicers

[@Miksy51]

Fourth, also I can confirm, this game will teach you how to swordfight! In many unique ways

[@jaydenwilliamson2335]

Imagine smosh games playing this

[@wolfVFV]

Maybe i missunderstood But when the fight boss swprd fights Cant he just lie and say the opponent broke a rule? He has final say so it would work and he wins

[@ANoBaka]

House rule it so that the fight boss appoints a temporary fight boss for that fight Edit: Someone else said that this is actually a rule

[@maricarmen1290]

I have this game and it's very fun.

[@ExplodingKittensInc]

Yay! Love to hear that!

[@maricarmen1290]

I'm from Spain and I like your games.

[@greatandcheesy]

Imagine Zoro from one piece playing this

[@filipmudrinic7999]

Looks fun

[@ferb2002]

Ok, the fight boss sould not be the fight ref... When they can easily also be in the fight. Oh you say i hit you in the head, nah i hit you on the chest i win

[@Tantusar]

The full rules say that a Fight Boss in a fight must choose someone else to act as Fight Boss.

[@Aaa-vp6ug]

Can you release multiple size swords? (Short, medium, long)

[@reaganmonkey8]

I say buy multible copies of the game, then you can have a free for all 3 or 4 person sword fight. You have to last the longest.

[@hiagogames]

As the tallest person out of everyone i know i was constantly getting bullied on

[@nikirol4051]

I wonder if theoretically the shorter person has an advantage in an otherwise equal fight. (i.e. same age and rules) Like, they have a smaller 'hitbox' and their arms are closer to your torso which would make it easier to hit it.

[@hiagogames]

@nikirol4051 the thing is the taller person has a bit more range and that's it And the thing is that the SHORTY HAS LIKE 10 CARDS TO LAUGH AT ME

[@mcloughlinguy4127]

@@nikirol4051 usually the taller person will have an advantage in a real swordfight but it's nothing the shorter person can't bypass if they know what they're doing and can close the distance effectively.

[@ShakerGER]

Why can't you spend cards to add those rules to an opponent to give you an edge?

[@schlimeydimetime9711]

Can you release a dlc with spears?

[@Goofygoober584]

Can I make my own rules of real swords

[@kentity5272]

What if with real swords?

[@Danny-se2mi]

How long will last the swords and are they sold separately?

[@chromium7745]

Dont know why I got recommended this, but it looks pretty fun

[@RealityXD_from_Scratch]

Question, how long are the swords?

[@liser]

question? What if a Fight Boss appoints themselves to fight. Who referees then?

[@PhantomPrinceGaming-dd9yb]

Another Player of the Fight Boss’s choice

[@dawasuki_]

Can this be played by 2 player 😢

[@user-eq9se6wl4g]

So fight boss can sword fight and be the fight referee at the same time? Doesn’t that mean being the fight boss just wins the cards?

[@ReclaimerTyphoon]

I feel like the Fight Boss has too much responsibility - that's a lot of work, monitoring, and choices to make. Should be randomized, and players should 1. hold each other accountable, and 2. abide by an honor system. Too much room for the Fight Boss to just ruin someone's day for no reason, or on accident/due to a lack of skill, and it sounds like there's going to be a lot of waiting for the Fight Boss to make the piles, trying to make interesting fights, or making them nigh impossible, etc. So much room for trolling/accidental trolling, missed calls, etc. Also, you should have called it "Silly Fencing", or "Tis but a foam wound".

[@Commander6444]

I get what you're saying, but if you're waiting more than 30 seconds for a Fight Boss to sort the cards- or if a Fight Boss is acting in extremely bad faith to gain an advantage- then you should probably just play with someone else. Most people can understand silly fun for what it is, and it's not worth dealing with someone who is legitimately trying hard to win a party game.

What a stupid game

[@OCJ0001]

Why? Games are subjective. What some people may love other people won’t. That’s why there’s millions of games. Just go find one you like. This game is fun
