Master the mat with MatGrind, a strategy card game built for wrestlers, by wrestlers.
Pick from 90+ wrestling move cards — single-legs, double-legs, fireman's carries, arm throws, gut wrenches, tilts, and more. Every card is grounded in real technique with power ratings, stamina costs, and position requirements that reward actual wrestling knowledge.
THREE AUTHENTIC STYLES
- Folkstyle (NFHS/NCAA): Riding time, escapes, near-falls, and control-based grinding
- Freestyle (UWW/Olympic): Explosive throws, gut wrenches, and exposure scoring up to 5 points per throw
- Greco-Roman (UWW/Olympic): Upper body only, par terre, no leg attacks
STRATEGIC DEPTH
- Chain wrestling: Link setup moves into powerful attacks like real mat sequences
- Counter system: Strategic reads and defensive cards beat specific attacks
- Stamina management: Every move costs energy that regenerates between periods
- Position-based gameplay: Neutral, ground (top/bottom), and front headlock positions determine your available moves

I love this game so far, I’ve been playing career mode the most and really enjoying it. A suggestion I have for career mode is adding a consolation bracket, and with that trophies for 2/3/4th place. Also the qualifications for state/nationals is a bit confusing, it seems like you have to win to advance but I honestly can’t tell and I wish that was outlined somewhere. I love the card-styled matches and have been enjoying the career mode.
Amazing game

Still best wrestling game I’ve ever played

Best wrestling game out there. I was making my own, but this is far better than what I created. I wish more people played, I can never find an online match. Well done.
