'Nak Muay': A Muay Thai card game?

[tdiedwards]

I'm trying to make one that reflects the scoring, rhythms and strategies of the sport. My research has opened up some fascinating insights, especially regarding how fights are scored. I've got a few ideas on how a fast, gritty game might work - but nothing too solid yet.

Before I go any further, I thought it might be wise to ask some fans and practitioners what they think.

My question really is simply this: What would be cool for you in a game like this?

Thank you very much for your thoughts!

This is gonna be a card game of your creation?

In that case, are you gonna do a life based card game like Magic or will it be determined on who still has a deck by the end of the game?

So will this be like Magic the Gathering with you playing a nameless avatar or will each player represent a Muay Thai fighter such as Baukaw or Sanchai?

Each player represents a fighter. You can create your own fighter, with his own strengths and preferences. Then let rip and see if you can make him win.

I LOVE THIS IDEA!!! I'm a Nak Muay AND a HUGE CCG and board game fan! This would be a must buy! I think the game i'm thinking of is the Dragon Ball CCG (I could be wrong about which game) but I THINK they have mechanic where you can set up combos and then the opponents can do counters (like instants in magic the gathering)....if not those would be some good elements to add! Also, maybe a position mechanic? for different range off attacks?

I love the idea, but maybe a way to "expand" on the idea, is to have it be more like a "K-1" , instead of muay thai, where you could have different stand up styles and techniques...this would add to the depth of techniques and game strategies. Just a thought. Either way, keep me updated!
