THIS GAME IS STILL IN IT'S BETA FORM. I AM CONTINUOUSLY CHANGING CHARTS, ETC!!!!
WHEN I AM SATISFIED WITH THE CHARTS, I WILL RELOAD THEM IN A PDF FORMAT!!!
THANKS FOR YOUR PATIENCE AND UNDERSTANDING!!!
The Pro Boxing Universe (PBU) is an Excel, PDF, Dice and Charts game. It is not necessarily a “Long Play Game”. I would say the game is probably more of a Medium Play Game. I say Medium Play because the full play game is not a punch-by-punch game but a round by round game. There is also a “Quick Play” version of the game included. The game provides everything from Pre-match and Post-match scenarios to career building possibilities with built-in backstory of strengths and weaknesses. There is an Out of the Ring Chart that could see any fighter experience: Serious Life Events, Management and Relational Issues, Injuries and even Catastrophic events.
You can play the game any way that you like. You can do one offs, tournaments, big shows or you can recreate Boxing History! There are 17 different weight classes with thousands of fighters. Each boxer comes with a Career Start Year, Birth Country, and Weight Division to give you a great opportunity to set up your FICTIONAL or HISTORICAL BOXING UNIVERSE any way that you desire. You can fight a guy from 1840 vs a guy from 2022 if you like or you can begin at any year and start from there.
The game has EIGHT SEPERATE BOXING ERAS that come with their own set of Rules and charts (IE: London Prize Ring Rules Era, Marquess of Queensbury Rules Era, The MAFIA Era on up to today’s Modern Rules era). Each different era contains different possibilities of how a fight will be handled, such as Unlimited Rounds, Rounds only ending when someone is knocked down, fights only ending when a fighter cannot continue, a fight ending when the Police stop it because “boxing is illegal” etc. This is sure to add a much greater depth and enjoyment to the game as you can watch the “History” of boxing unfold!
The game also has thousands of fighters available. They are separated into two different universes: Fictional Boxing Universe and Historical Boxing Universe.
The FICTIONAL BOXING UNIVERSE contains all fictional fighters. This gives you the opportunity to watch careers unfold right before your eyes without any bias or expectation! You will find yourself growing attached to certain fighters because you experienced their career with them. You will hate those that upset your favorites. You will respect even those you hate!
The HISTORICAL BOXING UNIVERSE contains thousands of real-life fighters. From Jack Johnson to Muhamad Ali. From John L. Sullivan to Mike Tyson. From Harry Greb to Roberto Duran. From Peter Jackson to Tyson Fury! Just like in the FICTIONAL game, you can fight the greatest vs the greatest or redo and recreate a Historical career.
The fighters are all different, which means some are better than others! That means that some fighters are definite future Elite Champions, while some are, as the old sports writers used to call them, “Palookas”. Some are Contenders, some are “Tomato Cans”. Some are Journeymen while some are true Gatekeepers! Each fighter is rated in 13 different categories such as the ability to control the fight, punching power, the ability to take a punch, pre-fight training, even how well known the fighter is in the media and more!
The PBU will bring you hours and hours of intimate game play filled with excitement, intrigue, heartache, and surprises. It is sure to become a tabletop classic for any true boxing fan!
