Battle your way through the ranks of the DWC in the ultimate strategic and competitive pro wrestling board game.

Cameras flash. Spotlights cut through the darkened arena. The crowd erupts as your intro music thunders over the speakers. You take a deep breath, one final check to make sure your gear is in place, and step out onto the stage. Arms raised, you march down the ramp toward the ring, and your waiting opponent…


Diabolical Dave’s Rumble Throwdown is a strategic board game that takes you beyond the ring, experiencing several aspects of a pro wrestling career.

Play the role of a crowd favorite ‘Face’ or a hated ‘Heel’ wrestler. Over the course of the game, you’ll make choices about your wrestling style, gimmick, moves, attire, special abilities, and more. Make your choices wisely; the combinations and strategies to win the game are nearly endless.

Beyond wrestling the superstars of the Diabolical Wrestling Council, the infamous DWC, you’ll hold interviews, cut promos, suffer setbacks, and scheme to interrupt your opponents' matches, all with one goal in mind: capturing and defending the DWC World Championship!

Diabolical Dave’s Rumble Throwdown is the first project created by Grimmsteel Games. Built on decades of shared passion for gaming, pop culture, and late nights (or early mornings) of shenanigans, the team believes in the idea that shared laughter - not winning - is the ultimate prize on game night. The initial idea for DDRT came during a side conversation while playing an adventure card game, and grew over development into a deeply strategic experience that never lost its sense of fun.


The Grimmsteel Games team has worked with experienced graphic designers, artists, and fellow game designers to create the most complete project possible heading into the Kickstarter campaign. Jump in the ring and discover what all the yelling and cheering is about!

Note: These three videos above were recorded prior to adding the Solo and 2 Player modes.

DDRT Is In Production!

2025-02-07 13:31:23

Great news, backers! 


We have completed all of the artwork, graphic design, and rulebook updates for DDRT and everything is with our manufacturer, LongPack Games, for production!


This is a major milestone that our team has been anxiously waiting to share. We've also got some design-related updates to go along with this announcement.


Linen Card Finish


One of our goals was to produce the highest-quality product possible. One of these upgrades to the cards, applying a linen finish, was a stretch goal that we fell just short of. After careful consideration, we decided to include the finish to enhance the quality of DDRT for all of our players.


Extra Gimmicks


Our original intent was to unlock some newer gimmicks as stretch goals but they were never even revealed. Instead of waiting for a future expansion, we thought our backers deserved these in the base game, so here they are!


Chit Redesign


We've been working closely with our graphic design team to finalize some of the game element designs before production. Two items, the Bonus Chits and Commentator Chit, underwent a significant update from our prototypes. Here are the redesigned game pieces; while relatively minor, we're incredibly happy with the look of these game pieces.

Updated Box Insert


Similar to the chits, our partners at LongPack Games recommended a redesign of the box insert to keep the game pieces and cards organized. We gladly took their advice and, just like the chits, are thrilled with the end result!


What's Next?


We expect to receive a preproduction sample copy of DDRT for review and approval in 4-6 weeks. Once approved, LongPack will begin its production run, and we hope to begin fulfillment of all orders before the end of June. We'll keep you posted as timelines become more definite!


Thank you again for your support of DDRT and Grimmsteel Games!
