BRAWL is a card game designed by James Ernest and released in 1999 by Cheapass Games.

Gameplay

Like Spit or Icehouse, players in BRAWL do not take turns, instead either making a move or staying inactive as best suits their strategy at that moment. The game is fast-paced (games typically last a few minutes) but still has a fairly high level of strategy.

Each player has a different deck of cards. The object of the game is to control the most "bases" by playing the most "hit cards" onto the base before it is frozen by playing a "freeze card" onto it. The game ends when all bases are frozen.

Expansions

As of 2005, three sets of expansions are available for the game:

• Catfight Set
  • Nickie
  • Sonia
  • Tamiya
• Club Foglio Set
  • Alex
  • Crane
  • Gina
  • Mischo
  • Rent
  • Tess
• Ting-Ting Set

In 2001, BRAWL: Club Foglio won the Origins Awards for Best Card Game Expansion or Supplement 2000 and Best Graphic Presentation of a Card Game 2000.
