About the game
Ultimate Combat! is an out-of-print collectible card game designed around the concept of Asian martial arts combat. The game was designed by judo sensei Dave Long and released in 1995 by Ultimate Games. It is very similar to Magic: The Gathering and roughly 75% of the rules are the same. It was endorsed by the United States Judo Association team, the USA Taekwondo team and the USA Wrestling team.
The base set covers the martial arts of judo, karate, jujitsu, taekwondo, boxing and wrestling. The first and only expansion to the base set was The Ancient Fighting Arts of China. This covers the Chinese martial arts of kung fu and tai chi. It was researched with the assistance of Dr. Chi-Hsiu Wing of Beijing University and Professor Yoshihiro Uchida of San Jose State University.Information from Marquoir’s game database, which cross-checks several open sources.
