Some call the art of boxing “the sweet science” – and when you play the marvellous strategy game Deck ’Em, you’ll see why.

In this game, challenging the champ means throwing down cards, not throwing punches. To begin with, the goal isn’t to deliver a savage KO – the champ’s too tough for a novice like you. But survive every round and you’ll walk away with your head held high. Indeed, Deck ’Em teaches us that fights can be won in boxing – and in life – by not winning at all.

In each round you get several cards representing different punches, blocks and counters. Should you save that great block card for a later round? Let loose a haymaker to stop the Champ’s assault? This deceptively simple game is loaded with on-the-fly strategy.

Last long enough and you’ll rake in some virtual cash; if you’re gutsy, bet on yourself to increase the haul. It’s a glorious way to chase the leaderboards – though as any fighter will tell you, the real prize is found in the ring.
