Is anyone interested in play-testing a shadowboxing game? A few things have inspired me to try designing a simple game around shadowboxing. I hit on the idea of a game/workout/challenge modelled on a fighting tournament. Below is the core game. I have ideas for ways to make it more difficult, to mix it up, to add some dice rolling and chance, but that's for later. For now, I'm testing the backbone of the game.

Card 2: semi-final match
Shadowbox the opponent for two rounds of 1-minute
Card 3: final match
Shadowbox the opponent for two rounds of 2-minutes
Rest for up to 2-minutes between rounds
Focus on exploiting opponents' vulnerabilities

Let me know if you have questions, suggestions, ideas, feedback, things you like, things you don't like, better names for the opponents, ideas for more vulnerabilities, and so on.
