Push Fight was created 25+ years ago, and it
all started with the game board. My goal was
to invent an aggressive game, and I drew a
few board designs on paper. It didn't take
long to come up with the current board design
(side rails and all), and I built one out of wood.
I loved the way it looked, and I stuck with the
design.
The game pieces (and the way they worked) came to me in just a few days, and I loved the way it played. What I
didn't like, though, was having the ability to reverse a push. So, I came up with the anchor. As time went by, I
realized that the anchor adds a lot to the strategy, too.
And, I have some great news.
Some folks at MIT wrote a computer science paper about the Computational Complexity of Push Fight
(March 9, 2018). Thanks to Erik Demaine, Jeffrey Bosboom and Mikhail Rudoy for their hard work.
Push Fight is PSPACE-hard, and that's pretty cool. Here's the paper: Click here to download the MIT paper.
I hope you enjoy my game. Look for tournaments in the future.

You must play offense and defense
during every turn, and danger is
always near.
The game is fast-paced and can
be over in just minutes. Sudden
finishes are common!
Each player controls a team of 5
game pieces, and the game flows
and changes rapidly.
Experienced players have a big
advantage over novice players.
Each turn consists of two moves
(maximum) and a push. The goal
is to push ONE of your opponent's
game pieces off the board at
either end.
You can also win by getting your
opponent to give up because they
are trapped. In essence, it is a
submission fight on a game board.

Created by a Jiu-Jitsu practitioner to train his students, Push Fight is
a pure strategy game of positioning, foresight, and force.
Each player takes turns moving their pieces into advantageous
positions, and then pushing with one of their pieces.
A back-and-forth game of lures, escapes, and clever aggression ends
when a single piece is pushed off the board.
For a quick look at how Push Fight works, check out these videos.
