The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
I’m not sure what caused my current interest in my boxing games.
That said, I think I’ll be focusing again on Title Bout II and Glory Days Boxing.
DICE Boxing will be played if I ever get more than half of the boxers printed out (print-and-play game). Same goes for Diggin’ Deep Boxing and Main Event Boxing.
I should go through the original Title Bout game that I won from eBay.
I may or may not get a printed version of Legends of Boxing.
Stay tuned!

I still can’t seem to pick up playing table top basketball or hockey.
i was able to learn a new football game today without any problems.
I can play baseball, auto racing, soccer, football, boxing, wrestling and golf games.
But every time I start to setup and read the rules for hockey or basketball, my brain can’t seem to grok.
Frustrating.
Another game that’s been sitting on my shelf for a couple of years, I finally sat down with and learned how to play Grid Iron Wars.
OH. MY. GOD.
It’s probably one of the simplest sports games I’ve ever played, mainly because it relies so heavily on the APBA die-roll convention (2 d6, 11-66 result range)
I played 1/2 a game between the 1997 Denver Broncos and the 1997 San Francisco 49ers, and it flowed pretty smoothly, with about as many chart look-ups as other football games that I’ve played.
I liked how the game felt, play by play, with an almost quick play feel to it.
I’ll try to finish up the current game tomorrow, and then start a college game, which is one reason I wanted to learn how to play this one.
Though I do have Yet Another Game™ coming in later this week.
Stay tuned!
Foreman knocked Marciano down in each of the first two rounds, but a stunning blow to the ribs by Marciano in the 6th eventually led to Foreman taking too much punishment to continue after the 9th round.
Rocky Marciano, Title Bout II Heavyweight Tournament Champion!
This tournament took way longer than is should have, from April 2018 to now, just to play out 15 fights.
I’ll try to do my next tournament in a more timely matter, by reducing the fight length (10 rounds instead of 15) and playing more fights in one sitting/session.
Stay tuned!
While going through the rule book for the new boxing game, they used Muhammad Ali and Jack Dempsey for all the examples
So I decided to play my first fight with them.
I’m going to do 10 round fights from here on out, instead of the 15 round bouts that I ran in Title Bout II.
Results:
Scoring is a bit more extensive in this new game, though I think I can use the three judge system in Title Bout II as well. Here you can roll on optional charts to get a referee and judges for your fight. Judges can affect a fight through scoring, as can the ref by their biases toward the fighters themselves.
I did miss some cut/swelling checks in the earlier rounds, though Ali received swelling on his right eye about halfway into the fight. I think that woke him up and he outscored Dempsey for the rest of the contest.
Unanimous decision: Muhammad Ali defeats Jack Dempsey.
Verdict: I like this game.
Though I’ll still play Title Bout II for the other weight classes that Glory Days doesn’t have.
And perhaps I’ll dabble in DICE Boxing, if I ever get around to printing out the boxers from even more weight classes.
Stay tuned!
