this is a game about wrestling

Emerging from darkness to blinding stage lights, thirty cameras, hundreds to thousands of people in the crowd— enough to make anyone want to crawl back into the shadows. Across the ring stands— your friend? Your rival? Definitely your opponent. The lines are blurred when it comes to you two.

In a moment, you’re going to have your hands all over each other. In a moment, it’s not going to matter who you really are, just who the audience thinks you are. You’ll have to be careful. 

But as you step up, forehead to forehead, sharing the same air, nearly close enough to kiss— you see the feeling in your chest reflected in their eyes, and it’s a little thrill down your spine.

This is a game about wrestling. It is a game for two players, no GM, fourteen dice, one grid, and a few hours. It's a hack of Dwindle by Caro Asercion. You can play it in one session or use it to tell a long term story over the course of many sessions.
