  • Patent number: 5163688
    Abstract: A competitive wrestling game that simulates a competitive wrestling match. The game includes a plurality of images which represent various wrestling action maneuvers, submission maneuvers, escape maneuvers, reverse maneuvers and substitute maneuvers. The method of playing the game comprises the competitors drawing images and the competitor determining when to display a predetermined sequence of images. The opponent must then display a counter maneuver and if the counter maneuver is unavailable, the competitor is assigned a designator. Play is sequential between the players until a sequence of designators is accumulated to determine the loser. A tag team wrestling match is also simulated in which there is competition between two teams of two players each. The partners of any one team may tag one another under specified conditions to compete against the identified member of the opposing team. The tag team match follows substantially the same procedure as the game between two players.

  • Patent number: 4861031
    Abstract: A competitive card wrestling game that simulates a competitive wrestling match. The game includes a plurality of images including a first portion of images representing wrestling "escape" maneuvers, a second portion of images representing wrestling "submission hold" maneuvers and a third portion of images representing wrestling "combat" maneuvers. The images may be sequentially displayed on playing cards or a video screen. Each competitor draws a plurality of images. The first competitor sequentially selects and displays three images. The second competitor sequentially selects and displays three images in response to those selected by their opponent. A "pin" occurs when the last sequentially displayed image by either competitor is a "submission hold" maneuver and the opposing competitor first sequentially displayed image in response thereto is any image other than an "escape" maneuver.
