Street Fighter Rivals takes the premises of Seiji Kanai's R (BraveRats) into the realm of fighting games. Instead of two equal decks, both players chose one of 8 characters, each with their individual 7 card deck. Winning with certain cards does a certain amount of damage. Win by bringing your opponents health down from 10 to 0.
Street Fighter Rivals 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.
Street Fighter Rivals has a complexity rating of 1.3 out of 5 from BoardGameGeek players, which makes it a light game. The rating reflects how much rules knowledge, planning and decision-making a typical game demands. Expect a longer first teach for heavier games, and use a preparation guide before game night.
