Making the Towns

Wrestling roguelite

Making the Towns is a deck-building roguelite about working the professional wrestling circuit in 1983. After washing out of a wrestling school entry exam, you pick one of five wrestlers and try to climb from promotion to promotion, building a deck and reputation along the way. The goal is to reach the main event, with the circuit stretching into the 90s.

Matches and momentum

Matches are fights for the crowd, represented by a shared momentum bar. Each card you play pushes momentum toward your wrestler. Chain strikes, throws, grapples, aerial moves and submissions into combos, time reversals, and set up a finisher. Once the crowd is on your side, you can go for the pin.
