In Tattoo Brawl, players compete to prove who is the best tattoo artist in the Tattoo Shop. Picking the right combination of ink and style, from 7 different colors and 5 tattoo styles, players rush to obtain the best score making the most difficult and unique tattoos – often sabotaging their rival tattoo artists. Yet they must also know the clients’ personalities to choose the best human canvas where they will capture their art. On each turn, the players will take ink, select tattoo designs or choose clients to make the tattoos with the most victory points. Also, they must plan their movements very carefully as rival players can steal the ink or tattoo styles. The game ends when a player reaches the finished tattoo goal, and the player with the highest number of victory points wins! Strategic, fun and exciting, Tattoo Brawl is a game with an original theme for your best game nights. —description from the publisher
