BRAWL is a real-time card game designed by James Ernest and released in 1999 by Cheapass Games.

Gameplay

Like Spit or Icehouse, players in BRAWL do not take turns, instead either making a move or staying inactive as best suits their strategy at that moment. The game is fast-paced (games typically last a few minutes) but still has a fairly high level of strategy.

Each player has a different deck of cards. The object of the game is to control the most "bases" by playing the most "hit cards" onto the base before it is frozen by playing a "freeze card" onto it. The game ends when all bases are frozen.

Expansions

As of 2006, four sets of expansions are available for the game:

Catfight Set
*Nickie
*Sonia
*Tamiya
Club Foglio Set
*Alex
*Crane
*Gina
*Mischo
*Rent
*Tess
Ting-Ting Set
Kasanova

In 2001, BRAWL: Club Foglio won the Origins Awards for Best Card Game Expansion or Supplement 2000 and Best Graphic Presentation of a Card Game 2000.

In 2005, the French company Eclipse Vis Comica published the six original decks in French (though the cards were in English), and added a new promotional deck, Natacha. These decks were all 44 cards instead of the original 35 cards, and included new rules, including "customization" options. For this edition, the name of the game was changed to "Fight", and the characters were all replaced with more flashy, anime-style characters.
