March 2019 Fantasy Sumo Wrestling Card Game

Hakkeyoi!  Welcome to another iteration of my custom Fantasy Sumo Wrestling Card Game that we play over on Facebook's BBM Sumo Card Collectors group.  The cards just went out in the mail today so keep a lookout to those that are playing.  The January 2019 game was a big hit from what I can tell and we are now up to 10 players for the March 2019 tournament!  This means each player will get 5 cards with 2 card ready to go from the bench in case someone's wrestler gets hurt and has to withdraw from the tournament.  This tournament's cards are blue-bordered and the company I used to print the cards went with a new printing company and they turned out really nice.  Take a look!

I switched up a few of the ways to score to keep things interesting, but overall the game is the same.  Check out this 5-minute video I did of the card deck:

For those interested, here are the basic rules to the game:

1. Each player gets 5 random cards and on the back of those cards are ways their card/rikishi earns points as the 15-tournament day progresses.  As mentioned before, I ship those cards to all the players free of charge...really, no catch.
2. Some points are daily points while some points are awarded at the end of the tournament.
3. Scores are recorded at our Facebook BBM Sumo Card Collectors group page on our scoring spreadsheet.
4. Each player is encouraged to update the score sheet several times a week, daily if possible, to help keep the game active and competition exciting.
5. The winner is the player with the most total points added up among all their cards.
6. The runner up receives a specially-printed Jun-Yusho card that only he/she gets.
7. The winner receives both a specially-printed Yusho card as well as a full deck of the cards.

Thanks for swinging by my blog and thanks to those who signed up to play this tournament!  Until next time, cheers!
