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.

We've got a few updates to share about production and upcoming shipping of DDRT!


New Foiling Looking Great!

We received a short video from LongPack showing off the new blue foiling on the game's box cover. It's looking awesome!

With this final detail settled, we've given LongPack the thumbs up to move forward with final production, which leads us to our next update.


News on Tariffs

Everyone in the industry has been hoping for good news here, and it looks like (for now) we've gotten it. With the recent announcement of ongoing negotiations and reduced tariff rates, our team (along with game publishers everywhere) breathed a collective sigh of tentative relief.


Shipping and Delivery

While there are still some details to iron out, everything seems to be on track for shipping. We're talking more with Hive to find a way to consolidate shipping with other publishers, which will help keep shipping costs down.

And, the most exciting, we expect all copies of DDRT to be on a ship heading our way within the next 60 days! The final countdown is here! We'll continue to keep you posted as we learn more.
