Kabuto Sumo is a fun and original board game that combines dexterity, strategy, and physics in the quirky world of insect sumo wrestling. Players take on the roles of beetle wrestlers battling on a tree stump, trying to push their opponents out of the arena.

In Kabuto Sumo, you compete for the title of the ultimate insect wrestler. Each player chooses a unique beetle with a distinctive name and special abilities—from the mighty Mjolnir to the cunning Mighty Jaw Mike. The arena is designed as a tree stump where tense duels unfold, as insects use their bodies and accessories to push others out of the circle.

The game revolves around pushing wooden discs onto the playing surface, similar to arcade coin-pusher machines. On their turn, players select a disc from their supply and use a pushing board to slide it into the arena. The goal is to make clever pushes to knock opponents’ discs—especially their main beetle—out of the ring. Each beetle has two special moves that allow extra actions or the use of uniquely shaped discs. The game is largely strategic, as precise positioning is key—physics plays a big role.

If you’re looking for a game that’s fun, tactile, and full of character, Kabuto Sumo is an excellent choice for family or friends. 🪳💥
