TNA DVD Board Game

 

Now while I have watched Impact since it hit tv almost 20 years ago,I never bothered much with the weekly PPVs but did watch the Foxsports Weekly show. When the show started bouncing around the oddest channels ever I t so happened to have each channel so each week I would record and watch Impact later on. Been not that long ago to a Impact TV taping,my goofy looking ass was on the tv screen way too many times....

So while yea I saw Impact on Spike,Destination America,Pop!,The Pursuit Channel(watched TCW on this years ago with Tim Storm) and now AXS,but I never expected to find and find for cheap a TNA board game. And never expected a DVD board game.


Thanks to a dude posting at a wrestling forum I learned Amazon had copies of this game,sealed and new from 2008,for under 10 bucks. Grabbed a copy,and finally not so long ago played it and saw that this is one of the better Pro Wrestling video games.



You pick out a wrestler or knockout,or create your own,and go around the 6 sided ring making money and trying to work your way up the card winning belts.


The rules are 1 double sided page. And it took 4 different people reading this to get a good understanding of them. Yea the game is a bit too complicated for it's own good.


What makes this game so much fun is they got a huge roster of wrestlers/knockouts. Plus the ability to create your own. First game played with this two wrestlers were created and 2 wrestlers got used. Created was Butt Sweat and Ass Crack who had to deal with Sting and Kurt Angle.

There's all the pieces. The four pawns,and I dont see why you couldn't add more pawns and play up to maybe 8 players at once,are generic. Same with the dice. But the big black non-6 sided dice is the Foreign Object Die. The TNA cash is what cracks me up. This being from 2008 shocked they ain't called Dixie Bucks. And you can spot the cardboard chips the represent the various TNA belts..

Overall this aint a bad game. For the 8 bucks I paid I enjoy it enough to keep it and not sell it at the next indie wrestling show for 15 bucks "cause that is vintage and out of print sir".Made by GDC,Game Development Company at www.gamedevoco.com,based in Toronto Canada. It aint a bad game from a smaller company. Plus it being a niche subject. Pro Wrestling isn't in the days of The Rock and Stone Cold and 8 million people watching each week. We are in the days,even when this game came out in 2008,of 3 million tops a week watching. Plus at least in the US TNA Impact has never been huge or super popular. Glad I got a copy,when I ordered mine last year Amazon said they had less than 10 left.
