About the game
The object of Push Fight is to push one of your opponent's game pieces off the board. Players take turns placing their five pieces (three with square tops, two with sphere tops) on their half of the board, with white placing first. White then takes the first turn, and players alternate turns after that. A turn consists of 0-2 moves, then a push of one space; a player can move any of their pieces orthogonally — changing direction if desired — any number of spaces as long as those spaces are empty. A player can push only with one of their square top pieces, and they push both friendly and opposing pieces one space. After pushing, the player places the red anchor piece on the piece that pushed; this piece cannot be pushed on the opponent's next turn. Players continue taking turns until someone pushes an opponent's piece off either end of the board. (The sides are ridged, and pieces cannot be pushed over them.)

Questions and answers
Push Fight supports 2 players according to the catalogue. This is the publisher’s listed player count, so the game is designed for exactly that number of participants. Variants for other group sizes, if any, are described in the rulebook of your edition, so check it before setting up a different configuration.
The listed playing time for Push Fight is 5–15 minutes. This is the publisher’s estimate for a full game. The actual duration depends on the group, the player count and familiarity with the rules: first sessions usually run longer, while experienced groups often finish faster. Setup and teaching time are not included in this estimate.
The catalogue lists Push Fight for ages 6 and up. This is the publisher’s recommendation and reflects reading demands, rule complexity and small components rather than theme alone. Younger players can often join with help from an adult, so check the age guidance on your edition and consider your group’s experience with board games.
Push Fight has a complexity rating of 2.6 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a medium-light game.
