Paper Boxing

Paper Boxing was published in A Gamut of Games.

Paper Boxing simulates a boxing fight with a grid of 4x4 squares and numbers. Each player makes his grids with an S (for START) in the upper left square and completes with numbers from 1 to 15 the others in any way he wishes and in secret. Then they both reveal their grids and the first player, from the S, moves to any other adjacent square in his grid. The other player does the same. Whoever ends in the highest number won the round. The player winning the first round starts the second round. Play continues like this and if the numbers are the same, the two players have a tie. If one of the players is left without moves before he can move the entire grid, he loses by KO. The player who won the most rounds wins the game.
