Cage Match has become one of my friends’ favorite games. I have to give credit to my lawyer friend David Hoffman for helping me refine the concept, but it basically goes like this: Cage Match is a three player game, with one of the three serving as a moderator. The other two go head-to-head in a best-of-seven match… not fighting to the death, but rather naming things that would win in a cage match fight to the death. It’s the moderator’s role to name a category at the beginning of each round, and then the players name something that falls within that category that would win in the cage match. The moderator then judges the responses and picks a winner. Now here’s the best part of the game: if a player disagrees with the judge’s decision, they can ask any stranger in the bar for their opinion — and this opinion will serve as the supreme decision. This element turns Cage Match into a wonderful social game and a great way to meet new people.
For an example of actual game play, consider the following round: the moderator asked the players to name “something that is red.” The first player responded with “fire truck,” which is a pretty solid answer until you consider the second player’s response: “the soviet union.” You can probably guess who won that round.
You should make this game for cellphones!
